Also, a 15-character password is short enough to manually type in if I’m using a public computer to log in to one of my accounts.īased on the considerable number of brute-force attacks I’ve had on social media over the years, the added security confers a peace of mind that is worth the setup! After completing this process, I deleted all the passwords I had stored in the Chrome browser and iCloud Keychain. Why 15-character passwords? The time it would take a modern computer to perform a “brute force” attack where algorithms systematically guess passwords based on the character types used (case-sensitive letters, numbers, special characters) and the overall password length is virtually infinite.
Its paid tier adds security and storage tools at an extremely low. I think storing my passwords in a separate, browser-agnostic application is the way to go! Bitwarden delivers open source password management solutions to everyone, whether at home, at work, or on the go. The open-source Bitwarden’s free tier handles all expected password manager tasks with surprisingly few limitations. I also purchased Bitwarden’s Premium subscription ($10/year) for two-factor authentication and security reports.
I use it on my iMac Pro, MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad Pro, and Windows desktop without a hitch! A convenient Chromium browser extension allows Bitwarden to integrate nicely with my web-based workflow. Why Bitwarden? It’s an open-source (totally free, maintained by the community) project that’s available on all platforms. Password managers secure and protect your online data in the face of rising cybercrime threats.
