Time Tidbits: Five Ways Password Managers Make Your Life Easier During the Holidays

Tips from Bill Carey, VP of Marketing for RoboForm.

1) You can log in at all of your favorite shopping sites instantly. Instead of struggling to remember a dozen or more username and password combinations at your go-to shopping sites, you can use password managers to remember that information and log you in automatically.

 

2) You'll be able to complete ecommerce forms in a flash. In addition to secure password management, they are excellent form fillers. Enter your billing, shipping and payment information one time and your password manager will complete forms during checkout with a single click.

 

3) You can leave store membership cards at home. Instead of carrying around multiple store membership and loyalty program cards to get discounts at local stores, you can enter your information into your password manager's Safenotes. That way, you'll have it on your mobile phone wherever you go.

 

4) You can automatically take your passwords and personal information on the road. With password managers, your data goes wherever you do, making it simple to use multiple computers, laptops and mobile devices while traveling – without having to re-enter your information and login credentials every time.

 

5) You’ll reduce your chances of getting hacked during the holidays. Hacking is on the rise, but you can protect yourself by always using a strong password and changing it frequently. Password managers make this process a breeze, so you’re less likely to be hacked during the holidays.
