Happy “Change Your Password” Day!

It’s not the most exciting holiday I can think of to celebrate, but the intentions are certainly good. February 1 is set aside so we have another opportunity to stress how very important it is to keep your passwords long and strong and frequently changed up.

These days it’s not only people hacking into your accounts that we need to think about — just think of how easily computers can do the job. Now think of all the things you do online every day. Between your work and personal life — you are probably online constantly. Online banking, social media, and shopping sites all require secure logins and passwords. It’s not safe to use the same password for each site — if that password is compromised your world can quickly crash down around you. Yet the only secure password is probably one you’ll never, ever be able to remember — much less remember several for all of your accounts. And no, please don’t write them down on multiple sticky-notes — that isn’t safe either.

The best way to deal with the password dilemma is to download a password manager. Chica Password Manager™ does all the heavy lifting for you — the password generator automatically creates long and strong, hard-to-crack passwords. No more sitting around trying to think of something to use beside your cat’s name. Not only that — it stores all your logins, passwords and personal information in a secure, encrypted database. All you need to remember is one Master Password. Your password-protected sites are remembered and you’ll be automatically logged in. Easy-peasy on your part — yet your passwords and personal information are fully safe, secure and protected.

Download a free 30 day trial of Chica Password Manager™ and check out the nifty features for yourself. I’m pretty sure this holiday still warrants going out for drinks after work though.
