Passwords are often the key to an organization's cybersecurity because they set them up as a tool for their employees to use that work better than leaving them to their own devices. They do have some detriments, however. This month, we discuss the pros and cons of password managers to protect company-owned digital resources. 

Have you ever been prompted to change your password, then forgotten what the new one was twenty seconds later? Changing passwords consistently is a good practice, but let’s face it; unless you have them put away somewhere, you are probably going to forget about them at least once (unless you use a post-it note on your monitor, which is never a good idea). Additionally, if passwords are short and easily guessable, you risk being targeted by a phishing attack or other hacking attack.
