🔐 Why Use a Password Manager

As educators, you handle a wide range of digital tools and platforms — from student portals and gradebooks to communication systems and online learning environments. With so many accounts to manage, using strong, unique passwords for each one is essential. But let’s be honest — remembering them all? That’s nearly impossible.

That’s where password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden come in. They make staying secure easier, faster, and more reliable — no tech background needed. Some of these password managers are free.

✅ What Is a Password Manager?

A password manager is a secure app that safely stores all your passwords in one place. Instead of trying to remember dozens of logins, you only need to remember one master password — the one to your password manager.

⭐ Benefits

1. Save Time and Headaches

No more resetting passwords or searching sticky notes.
Autofill feature lets you log in to sites quickly and easily.

2. Boost Security with Stronger Passwords

Password managers generate strong, unique passwords for each account, reducing the risk of hacking.
They alert you if any of your passwords have been compromised or reused.

3. Stay Organized

Keep work and personal accounts separate, yet easily accessible.
Store not just passwords, but also secure notes, documents, and even student info if needed (with encryption!).

4. Access Anywhere

Use across your devices — phone, tablet, laptop — so your logins go with you, whether you're teaching in person or online.
