Okay folks. We have reminded you over and over and over again not to use the same password for all the sites that require you to login. We’ve urged you to get a good password manager like LastPass (free) or Roboform. However, when we help people with their computers, we find that many of them do not have a password manager, and if we need to have them login to a site for us to see what the problem is, we watch them fumble around trying to login.<\/p>\n

Anyone who still uses the same password for every log in, or who writes down their passwords on a piece of paper and keeps it near the computer, or who stores passwords on a text file on their computer, are taking a vey big risk. But by far, the biggest risk takers are those using the same password for each login and those using simple weak passwords like sally58, password, hank518, etc. Because using the same password or using weak passwords leaves you vulnerable and open to having your password stolen. And it’s not a huge leap of logic to imagine that someone who has stolen your password will attempt that same password on financial sites — like your bank or PayPal. And you can imagine where that will go.<\/p>\n

We know that many of you still don’t have a password manager. Why? Maybe you don’t like Roboform. Maybe you don’t like LastPass. To each their own. So today we are featuring one of the new password managers that works pretty much like Roboform and LastPass, and which provides a very nicely functional free version — no bundles, no 3rd-party toolbars, nothing like that.<\/p>\n

It’s called Dashlane. We tested it during its beta (test) stage and we tested it again after it was released. And we were very impressed. It works just like Roboform and LastPass. You visit the site that requires you to login and Dashlane fills in your user name and password automatically and quickly. That’s it.<\/p>\n
