How to use a password manager for all devices
You can't use the same email and password for every online account because it’s a massive security risk. If just one account gets hacked, all your accounts are compromised.
However, no-one can you remember hundreds of different password and email combinations. That's where a password manager comes in.
It’s an app or web browser extension which safely stores all your passwords and enters them for you when you need to log in to a website. On your phone, a good password manager should also be able to enter logins for apps which require them such as Facebook, Netflix and Amazon.
Better still, it will work across all your devices and all you have to remember is one password to access all your logins. You should use a really strong password for that, but on most phones and some laptops you can use your fingerprint or a passcode to log in to the manager after entering that password for the first time. Never forget it (and write it down somewhere), but you won't have to remember or enter it regularly.
Although iPhones and iPads will save website logins, they don’t do the same for apps and you can’t use Keychain on any of your non-Apple devices, which is another reason to use a password manager app instead.
