Internet security experts will tell you that using the same password on every website is extremely dangerous. Once a hacker has compromised one site, it’s easy to write a script to gain access to multiple sites. Twitter learned this the hard way.
If you have OS X there are a number of utilities you can install which will allow you to create multiple passwords and keep the safe under a super secure password.
All of these utilities keep your passwords secure, two of them offer integration with your web browser. This integration will allow you to visit a page and autofill the login forms. This is similar to the password managers built into web browser but have better security through advanced encryption.
The one you choose comes down to personal preference. I’ve chosen 1Password. It’s super easy to setup. If you have moved from KeyPass on Windows it will import your password file. It also integrates with Firefox. Wallet, which came in close second only seems to integrate with Safari.
