For many of us, using a password manager is now a common way to look after the myriad of login details and passwords needed for all our frequently used websites. Are you using a password manager, and if so, do you worry about how safe it is?

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) provides some guidance on how password managers and passkeys can simplify your digital life without compromising your online security.

The guidance covers what a password manager is and why it can be trusted. There are also some pointers on what you should watch out for when using one.

Several websites now offer passkeys as an alternative to passwords. If you have seen these and wonder what they are, the NSCS guide explains why they can be more secure than passwords.
