You may have heard of password managers <\/span>\u2212<\/span> systems that remember all your passwords, so you don\u2019t have to. They\u2019re definitely convenient, and ones like <\/span>LastPass<\/span><\/a> are very highly rated. But are they safe? Password managers come with risks, and here are some of the main reasons you may want to avoid using them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One of the most significant risks in using a password manager is forgetting your master password. When you use a password manager, you only have to enter that one master password for your password manager account, no matter whether you are logging in to your social media account, banking account, or anything else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You only have to remember a single password for all accounts, which is convenient. However, that master password still needs to be secure enough so that people cannot guess it, and this means that it may be so complex that you forget it. If you forget your master password, you won\u2019t be able to log into anything, and resetting it will take a bit of work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Not all devices are secure, and this could be your tablet, your laptop, or your phone. This is usually the case with older devices that feature out-of-date operating and security systems, particularly those that no longer support new updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nYou Could Forget Your Master Password<\/b><\/h2>\n
