What is a password manager?

• A. It securely stores and autofills complex passwords, helping you maintain unique credentials.
• B. It automatically shares passwords with others.
• C. It deletes passwords after use.
• D. It analyzes password strength on websites.

Answer: (A)

Password managers securely store your usernames and passwords in an encrypted vault and fill them in automatically when you visit sites, so you can use unique, strong passwords without memorizing them. They protect your data with encryption and a master password, and many can generate new strong passwords and sync across devices for easy access. Sharing passwords automatically would be unsafe, and deleting passwords after use would make logging in impossible, so those aren’t how these tools are meant to function. While some managers offer password strength checks, the primary purpose is storing and autofilling credentials to keep accounts secure and easy to access.
