A common refrain among digital security professionals is for users to rely on the services of a strong password manager for their myriad account credentials online. Because in lieu of that, too many people default to the convenience of memory and reuse passwords or create too many that are easily memorable (and, thus, easily guessable for hackers). We're only barely into the second quarter of 2021, but we've already written a slew of posts so far this year explaining why that is a terrible practice.
We've also talked about the importance of (and recommended) password managers here on a number of different occasions — but there is a downside to them that you can probably surmise. Such managers can be one-stop-shop solutions that represent juicy targets of opportunity for hackers, as demonstrated by the recent security incident that enterprise password manager Passwordstate warned its customers about a few days ago.
