Breached or stolen passwords are the bane of any organization’s cybersecurity. Passwords cause over 80% of data breaches. Hackers get in using stolen, weak, or reused (and easily breached) passwords. But passwords are a part of life.
Since you can’t get around passwords, how do you share them with employees safely? One solution that has gained popularity in recent years is using password managers.
Here are some of the reasons to consider getting a password manager for better data security:
• Centralized Password Management
A primary advantage of password managers is their ability to centralize password management. They keep employees from using weak, repetitive passwords. And from storing them in vulnerable places.
• Secure Password Sharing Features
Password managers often come with secure password-sharing features. They allow administrators to share passwords with team members. And to do this without revealing the actual password.
• Password Generation and Complexity
Password managers typically come with built-in password generators. They create strong, complex passwords that are difficult to crack.
• End-to-End Encryption
Leading password managers use robust encryption techniques to protect sensitive data.
• Secure Sharing with Third Parties
Password managers offer secure methods for sharing credentials with third-party collaborators or contractors.
