Information Technology Tip
By: Orange County Information Technology Department
Every website seems to want your information nowadays by making users enter their email and a password. With so many accounts, and the potential for the same passwords to be used consecutively, it is important to have a password manager. At no cost, users can download a password manager app as a safe place to store your online account information. The process behind a password manager app is simple by allowing all your usernames and passwords to be protected by a master password. This ensures a secure storage space for your long and complex passwords so only you can have access and are not at risk of forgetting them.
There are a few beneficial features password managers offer such as password suggestions, making it harder for a hacker to unscramble your information and improve your online security.
Overall, using a password manager can help you improve your online security, save time, and reduce the risk of password - related issues.
Here are some password managers that Orange County IT recommends: Authpass, Bitwarden, Dashlane, Keepass, and KeepassXC.
For employees needing help installing these applications, or questions about them, or a current application you use, please feel free to email Helpdesk@orangecountyva.gov or put in a ticket through our new web portal Helpdesk.orangecountyva.gov.
