Passwords Got you Down? You're Not alone!

How many of you are sick of passwords?!!! I literally have accounts where I reset the password every time I enter! It’s just part of the process, albeit a frustrating part. Even if my device remembers the password, the next device I jump on doesn’t know it’s updated, so I do another password reset, ugh.
I laugh because I’ve heard hackers can guess your password if they know three things about you. That’s funny because I can never crack my own passwords. I guess I wouldn’t make a very good hacker.
I’ve heard that password manager apps work well and now generate unique passwords and update all your devices. Have any Moms out there used a password manager? If you have, I’d love to hear your experiences. I’m looking into LastPass, it is relatively inexpensive and gets good reviews.
Symantect, the software security giant, releases a list of the worst passwords ever and my personal favorite on their list is “letmein” because that’s exactly how I feel every time I log into an account! I hope your logins are going well this week.
