Passwords are annoying, but poorly managed passwords are dangerous. Secure your accounts without slowing down your team.

We have dozens of accounts, and expecting employees to remember complex, unique passwords for every single one leads to a common outcome: people just reuse the same password everywhere.

The Problem with Password Reuse

If a marketing forum you registered for gets breached, hackers will take the email and password combo from that breach and test it against Office 365, Salesforce, and your bank. If you reused your password, they are in.

The Solution: Password Managers

A business password manager gives everyone a secure vault to store their passwords. They only need to remember one strong master password (backed by multi-factor authentication) to unlock the vault. The manager autofills the passwords for them.

Benefits for Business

1. Security: Employees can easily generate 20-character random passwords they don't even have to know. 2. Sharing: Securely share access credentials with team members without exposing the actual password. 3. Offboarding: When an employee leaves, you instantly revoke their vault access, securing all company accounts at once.

Stop relying on sticky notes and spreadsheets. Move to a dedicated password manager.
