Living in the modern world, among other things, means actively using the Internet and its infinite amount of resources. Sites with movies, games, news, weather, technology, cosmetics, various social networks, forums, portals, chats - the list of what a modern person may be interested in on the network can go on forever, but the main thing is not this.
The main thing is that most portals, sites and pages require registration on them, that is, for each page you need to come up with a username and password to save personal information. Of course, you can use the same username and password everywhere, but each user must understand that his password can be hacked sooner or later, and if he was the same for all the resources visited, the attacker will get, accordingly, access to all your information on sites.
To avoid troubles, it is recommended to come up with a unique password for each site, but then the Internet user will have to store in his head a huge number of combinations of letters, numbers and other characters, which he chose as passwords. Storing passwords on various pieces of paper and in notebooks is an unsafe business, because at the same time, the probability that your passwords do not become available to a large number of people is rapidly approaching zero. And these pieces of paper are extremely rare.
If you are a regular guest on the Internet, a big fan of Internet surfing, a very sociable person or just a fan of sitting on new sites, then some online services and offline programs can securely store your passwords.
Which of these services provides the best password storage? Disputes over this issue have been going on for several years, but there is still no final answer. In general, attackers can gain access both to your computer and to the Internet service that you use, so there is not much difference. However, storing passwords on the network is a little more convenient in that they can be accessed from any computer connected to the Internet. In the case of offline methods, you will need additional synchronization of computers.
More specifically, the KeePass program provides the most secure and convenient storage of passwords on a computer. It stores all passwords in encrypted form, and several methods can be used for encryption at the same time. In addition, it makes it possible to automatically insert logins and passwords into forms on websites, which greatly simplifies the process of Internet surfing. And, most importantly, with its absolute reliability and convenience, the program is absolutely free.
Of the online services, the KeyMemo service is quite convenient. In addition to the main function - password storage - the service boasts a good password generator, connection protection and the ability to back up data. In addition to this, there is such an interesting feature available as sending out backup password databases to specified email addresses.
With the help of these or other services and programs you can ensure that passwords are stored with the highest possible reliability, and you can also not worry about their safety.
