    Password Managers

    Remembering all the userames and passwords we need today is a major problem. We are told not to use the same password for multiple logins and to change our passwords regularly which makes this problem ten times worse. It would be really good to have a small secure program in which you could store all these usernames and passwords. It would be even better if this program could insert then automatically when visiting each website. This podcast discusses Password Managers and gives an example of a free Open Source program that you can download, install and use on Windows 10.
