Tech Tip #2:

Why You Shouldn’t Save Passwords in Web Browsers

Storing passwords in web browsers is a double-edged sword. It may offer quick access to your favorite sites, but it also leaves a gap in your digital armor. Cyber intruders can exploit this to access personal and professional accounts if they breach your computer. Shift to safer shores by adopting a dedicated password manager, such as Passportal, which encrypts your credentials far beyond a browser’s capability. Remember, the security of your digital life is worth more than a few seconds saved.
