    If you’re like me, one of the biggest challenges with having a very active digital lifestyle is trying to stay safe whenever and wherever I go online. As an employee of one of the leading security software companies in the world, you can imagine my embarrassment if I were to fall victim to any one of the numerous threats out there in cyberspace.

    One of the most important precautions we tell folks to take is to have multiple, unique login IDs and passwords for their web accounts. The reason for this is straightforward: if one account happens to be hacked, say Facebook, other accounts such as your online bank account won’t be easily compromised because you have a different ID name and password for it.

    The problem is trying to remember all the different passwords and IDs


    This is obviously great advice, but the problem I have is trying to remember all the different passwords and IDs for all my Internet accounts. Many people resort to writing their credentials down and keeping them next to their computer. Obviously, this is not a terribly secure method of protecting the virtual keys to your digital kingdom.

    Another issue many folks like me have is the multiple devices available to access our online accounts. I have a work laptop, a home PC desktop, and a smartphone. I want and need to access my stuff on all of them, depending on what device I’m using and where I’m located.  Again, it’s painful to remember my passwords and IDs when I’m on the road or away from my home PC, next to which I keep many yellow sticky notes where I have written hints to my passwords.
