They make it easier to use strong passwords: those that are sufficiently random, long, and different for every one of your accounts. In case you haven’t received this advice, or didn’t understand what it was, Password managers are programs that remember passwords for you, along with the email address or other user identifier you use for each account. Each person uses technology differently, has a unique set of skills, and faces different risks. I cringe when I hear self-proclaimed experts implore everyone to “use a password manager for all your passwords” and “turn on two-factor authentication for every site that offers it.” As most of us who perform user research in security quickly learn, advice that may protect one individual may harm another.
