If Heartbleed sounds like a disease your dog may get, then you read up on this unique threat to online computing. see this list of effected sites. All of the fear associated with password concerns with Heartbleed sent me on a journey to find the best password manager.

Password maintenance is boring and tedious. As a result, most of us have some system that we use to keep up with the deluge of passwords, which ultimately lead to not only leaving the front door unlocked but also having a sign in the front door that says, “we’re not home now but come on in.”
Here’s what I was looking for:
- Desktop support
- Mobile support
- Browser integration
- Personal Identification database (including credit cards)
- Multi-login support
Most of the applications accomplish some of these tasks, but in a weekend of testing LastPass, Keeper, and Dashlane, I found Dashlane to be the best solution for my needs.
- It satisfies all of the requirements I had for a password manager
- The synchronization between mobile and desktop is flawless
- Great e-comm support
There will be a transformation in online security at some point. In the meantime, we have to do stupidly carry hundreds of passwords in our brains for instant access or worse, just one. These applications make the process a little easier.
If you use this link to check out Dashlane, we both get a few months of free premium service. If that creeps you out, then use this non-affiliate link.
