General password-security concepts
Practical habits that support safer password management over time, independent of which specific tool you use.
A Strong, Unique Master Password
Your master password is the single point of failure for your whole vault — make it long and don't reuse it anywhere.
Two-Factor Authentication
Adding 2FA to your vault and important accounts protects you even if a password alone is compromised.
Recovery Options
Set up account recovery or an emergency contact before you need it, not after you're locked out.
Regular Security Checkups
Periodically reviewing flagged weak or reused passwords keeps your vault genuinely useful, not just full.
Keep Software Updated
Updating your password manager, browser, and OS closes known security gaps promptly.
Phishing Awareness
No password manager can stop you from typing your master password into a convincing fake site — stay alert to that risk yourself.
A simple password-hygiene routine
Set a strong, unique master password once
Get this right at setup — it's the single highest-leverage step you'll take.
Turn on two-factor authentication
Apply it to your vault first, then to your most important accounts (email, banking, work login).
Run a security checkup periodically
Work through flagged weak or reused passwords a few at a time rather than all at once.
Reassess if something still feels risky
If you're still worried after good password hygiene, the next step is usually account-specific security settings, not a different password manager.
