Should You Use a Password Manager?

Spoiler: yes. Here's why and which ones are worth using.

Why you need one

Most people reuse the same password everywhere. That means one breach = everything compromised.

What to look for

  • Open source — you can verify what it’s actually doing
  • Zero knowledge — they can’t see your passwords even if they wanted to
  • Cross platform — works on your phone and computer

Solid options

  • Bitwarden — free, open source, best overall pick for most people
  • 1Password — paid but polished, good for families
  • KeePassXC — fully local, nothing in the cloud
