Hi everyone,

We know that there are quite a few myths and recurring questions, as well as a lot of anxiety about passwords and password managers. And it’s understandable - the more of our data is online, the more anxious we are to protect it.

Here are some articles to answer some of the common questions:

🥔 What is hashing and salting and how does it protect your passwords
⚠️ How can passwords become compromised?
🍏Is it safe to use “readily available” password managers such as Chrome’s and iCloud’s?
🔐 Is it safe to have your passwords auto-filled?
🎰 How can you be sure that auto-generated passwords are better than the ones you come up with?

We’ve also looked into some of the most common attacks that can compromise your passwords and what to do about them:

We hope you learn something new or share them with your loved ones to help improve their password security :)

Let us know in the comments what other questions you have about passwords and password managers.
