Managing passwords is important to secure your digital presence. Passwords are the most common digital security. Use password managers to generate unique strong passwords and to remember them. Don’t reuse passwords! Here are some top password managers you might consider:

  1. NordPass: Offers a solid browser extension with passkey generation. It’s available on Windows, iOS, Android, MacOS, and Linux. The pricing starts at $7.99 per month per user1.
  2. Dashlane: Provides cool password customizations and a good password health tool. It costs $4.99 per month (billed annually)1.
  3. Bitwarden: An affordable open-source solution that prioritizes privacy.
  4. 1Password: Easy to use and great for beginners. (My personal favorite)
  5. KeePass: A free, open-source option that you can host locally.
  6. Keeper: Offers good multifactor authentication customization options.

For small businesses, consider features like encrypted digital vaults, secure password sharing, password generators, multi-factor authentication, and advanced admin controls. These tools help protect sensitive information and improve efficiency2. Remember to choose a solution that aligns with your specific needs and budget! 

We strongly recommend using two factor authentication on financial access!

Two Factor Authentication(2FA)

First Factor: (something you know) The user provides their password.
Second Factor: (something you have) Provide a second form of identification, which can include:
Text Message (SMS): A one-time code sent to their smartphone.
eMail: A one-time code sent to the email address on file.
Push Notification: An approval/denial signal sent to their phone.
Voice Authentication: Confirming identity through voice interaction.
Hardware Tokens: Key fobs generating time-based codes.
