What Journalists Need to Know About Password Managers

The National Center for Business Journalism (June 13, 2018) has published an article "What Journalists Need to Know About Password Managers".

"Password managers are an incredibly valuable tool for generating and storing complex passwords. They allow users to create unique words, phrases, or combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols, for each of their password-protected accounts. Some of the more popular, time-tested password managers include 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane, and KeePass.

According to the Pew Research Center, 84 percent of survey respondents indicated that they primarily keep track of their passwords by memorizing them, or by writing them down. This typically limits the complexity of those passwords and makes them much easier to crack."
