Let’s face it, passwords are annoying, but vital to modern life. If you’re struggling under the load, get a password manager…! Here are five good reasons:

1. **One Password to Rule Them ALL** – Remember a single password to unlock the whole internet!
2. **It takes zero thought to push “Generate”** – Never struggle again to meet some Byzantine rules, just hit the button.
3. **Reusing passwords across the web is like biking without a helmet** – dangerous! Hackers steal corporate data, including your password, all the time. If you use the same password everywhere, one breach compromises all your accounts.
4. **Generated passwords are guess-proof**. You ain’t gonna find qgeA2YygLG+ in the list of most common passwords that bots use to try to brute force into your account.
5. **Typing on a smartphone is lame** – Even if you remember your passwords, typing them in on a phone is tedious. If your phone has a fingerprint scanner, you never have to type a password again!
