Neither 'admin', nor '1234' nor an inexplicable sequence of uppercase, lowercase letters, symbols and numbers. With these programs you can have your access keys saved.
There is no month in which a 'hacking' or massive filtering of user accounts and passwords is not revealed. Therefore, it is increasingly important to have a collection of access words that are sufficiently complex and differentiated from each other so as not to expose our data to the highest bidder.
The best solution to this problem has its own name: password managers. Its use is simple although there are a number of options throughout the network: from those that show for its simplicity to those that come loaded with options for the most demanding users. The choice, as usual, rests on the specific use that each user wants to give.
The operation of these managers is simple. Just imagine a safe in which all our passwords are stored. To access that safe we will need a password that we know by heart. From there, we can opt for the application to generate random passwords so that we ourselves will not be able to remember them.
Managers usually add an option that generates these keys randomly and some even allows us to choose parameters such as the length of the same, the repetition of letters or numbers or if we want to include acronyms. What's more, we can even achieve, at the moment, save other sensitive information to use on the network as you can be our credit card details.
1Password
It is one of the most popular and works solvent on different platforms. 1Password included in the latest versions an integration with the fingerprint of the user so that it does not even need a password that will unlock all our arsenal of private information.
Among the advantages of this manager is the integration of different platforms (iOS, Android, Mac or Windows) and the possibility of creating different profiles. For example, we can have one for our personal accounts and another one in which we group all those keys that we use in the work to differentiate from each other. In addition, the application creates an encrypted file with all our passwords that we can store, for example, in Dropbox so that we never lose them
One last interesting point of 1Password is the ability of the application to allow us to store information such as credit cards or bank accounts, very useful if we do not want to store that information in our browser and that avoids the trouble of having to consult the card or the Account every time we make a purchase on the net.
LastPass
The fact that it is free (although it has payment functionalities for $ 12 a year) is one of the great attractions of LastPass, an application that works with AES-256 bit encryption and does not store the password with which we keep all our data.
Another interesting aspect that highlights this application is the additional layer of security it adds. If the user is going to enter a website that is not secure, LastPass does not activate the default datafill to prevent you from being the victim of a phishing scam.
Finally, and also important for those users who do not pay much attention to their passwords, LastPass monitors your browsing habits and warns you if you have a duplicate password to change it.
Dashlane 4
One of the most complete managers is also the most expensive to use. Accessing the premium version of Dashlane 4 will cost you $ 39.99 a year but with it you have the possibility to use this manager through different devices or authentication in two steps.

Against Dashlane 4 is the fact that it is a much more expensive application than 1Password although it does not include many options than its competitor. Moreover, during the use process we will find in more than one occasion a slight spam that will remind us to spread the word to share the application with our friends.
Dashlane is an 'app' with two very marked faces. Its free version is one of the most complete you can throw in the face. The payment, besides expensive, does not offer the same advantages that you can find in other more complete password managers, as in the case of 1Password.
