How we keep our passwords safe and secure!
How do you keep track of your passwords and login details? In the past it was common practice to keep them written down in a notebook, maybe you used an excel spreadsheet or even store them in your browser... In our current digital climate, with the increasing amount of hackers and scammers, it's more important than ever to safely store complex and cryptic passwords to protect your personal and professional data.
That's why here at MOM we use a password management system called LastPass. LastPass is a online data vault that securely stores all of your passwords and login details. The application is cloud based so you can access it anywhere you have internet access and even set it up for offline access on certain devices. The beauty of this system means you don't run the risk of losing all your information if you misplace a book, delete a file or loose a device.
For business owners, LastPass can be a collaborative tool with built in teams and shared items. You can selectively share passwords with other team members increasing productivity and security so details aren't sent via email or chat platforms that are easily hacked. Some of our other favourite features include:
- Data breach notifications
- Unique password generator
- Autofill login details with extension
So, if you are wanting to secure your passwords, decrease lost time looking for them, and securely access them on any device then LastPass is the the tool you're looking for!
