Here is a guide to how password managers work and how you can choose the best one to tighten your company's online security.

While many browsers feature a basic password manager, only a top-tier third-party password management application can offer you robust security and convenience through features like password generation, VPN, dark web monitoring, encryption and two-factor authentication.

While you can simply add password managers to your browsers as an extension, the first step to using many password managers is installing the client on your computer or mobile device.

When your password manager is active, instead of manually entering the password on websites, the password manager, through the extension, prompts you to input your master password to access your unique passwords.

In this video, we look into the features and benefits of password managers, how safe password managers are to use and who should invest in password manager solutions in the first place.

Stateless or token-based password managers differ from traditional password managers in that they do not store passwords directly.
