Benefits of a Password Manager:
- Store many more passwords than most people can remember in a secure location.
- Generate strong passwords that a human would be unlikely to guess and that computers have a harder time cracking.
- Store password-retrieval details (like account information and responses to security questions) safely.
- Share passwords with family or coworkers as appropriate or necessary.
- Protect all of your passwords with a single master password.
- Get alerts about account information breaches.
What is Keeper Password Manager
Keeper is a password management tool that allows you to keep track of all of your work passwords in a secure vault and access them with a single password. Having to only remember a single password, allows you to create and use really strong and complex passwords for each and every account you have
Why did we switch from LastPass to Keeper?
After several LastPass data breaches of encrypted customer password vaults, Library and Technology Services has decided to suspend new Lehigh LastPass enrollment on January 3rd, 2023, and then later decided to switch to a more robust Password manager.
