Most people reuse passwords across multiple accounts, simply because remembering dozens of unique, strong passwords isn't realistic without help. A password manager solves this by generating and securely storing a unique password for every account, so you only need to remember one master password.
Strong encryption (look for AES-256, the current standard).
Cross-device sync so your passwords are available on your phone, laptop, and tablet.
A built-in password generator for creating genuinely random, strong passwords.
Breach monitoring that alerts you if a stored password appears in a known data breach.
A free tier or reasonable price — many reputable options offer a genuinely usable free version.
Start with your most important accounts — email, banking, and any account tied to payment details — rather than trying to update everything at once.
Use the built-in generator for every new password going forward, rather than manually creating new ones.
Enable two-factor authentication on the password manager itself, since it now protects access to everything else.
Choose a reputable, well-reviewed password manager, and begin migrating your most important accounts first. Check whether your current passwords have already been exposed in a breach.
