Protecting passwords

Method 1:

In the first method, I am showing you Protecting passwords by using android mobile. If you don’t use an Android mobile, you can skip this method and follow the second method.

There are many password manager apps available in the Google play store for Android mobile. You don’t need them actually. Just use Color Note Notepad app. Because you just need a Note app for noting to-do list or shopping list. When the Note app works like a password manager, why should we use a separate app for managing passwords? It is a free app. This app serves too many features. Some features of the Color note app are,

• Creating a to-do list
• Password management
• Backup and synchronous to an online account.
• It includes a calendar to set reminders.

I have noted passwords, notes, and too much important information in this app. Once I have purchased a new android mobile. And I need to transfer everything from this app. Writing everything takes too much time. At this time it’s synchronous feature helped me to get my notes within seconds. I have downloaded this app on a new mobile. Went to the synchronous option. Entered Gmail. Within seconds my completed notes are back in the new mobile. I think it is the best and simple methods to protect passwords. because it stores in an online account.

Method 3. Use Password Manager software

I think using a password manager is a wise decision. There are lots of free and paid password manager software s available. Every free software gives limited features. With free software, you can store your passwords only on the computer. You can not store them on the cloud and you can not synchronous. You must need better security for passwords. So it is a must to use a premium password manager.
