Password Security For Mac



Keeper Password Manager and Digital Vault is the secure, hassle-free way to protect your passwords and personal information on all of your Mac devices. It’s the Mac password manager that users depend on to keep passwords and private information out of the hands of cybercriminals. But it also ensures hassle-free access for you, because with Keeper as your password manager, you never have to remember passwords again.

Do I really need a password manager for my Mac?

Luckily it is possible to find any password you use on your Mac via your Keychain, which is how your passwords get autofilled in the first place. So, if you need to find out a password for an. Whether you just bought a brand new MacBook or are tethered to a long-lasting Mac Pro, use these password tips and OS X's security features to keep your data away from prying eyes. Apple offers an improved security method called two-factor authentication that’s designed to ensure that you’re the only person who can access your account, even if someone else knows your password. When you enter your Apple ID and password for the first time on a new device, we’ll ask you to verify your identity with a six-digit. Word Online can’t encrypt a document with a password, and it can’t open documents encrypted with a password. If you want to protect the file with a password, click or tap Open in Word to open your document in the desktop version of Word. After you've added password protection, you’ll need to use the Word desktop program to open the document.

It’s easy to get lazy about passwords, because remembering long, random strings of characters is a hassle. It’s tempting to just write them all down on sticky notes or, even worse, use the same password for everything. But that’s a mistake. Password cracking schemes that use algorithms to guess passwords make short work of weak passwords, which is why those long, random, impossible-to-remember strings are so vital. Without secure password protection on your Mac, cybercriminals can steal your passwords, identity, money, personal information, and more.

The good news is that Keeper makes managing Mac passwords simple. Using 256-bit AES encryption, Keeper for Mac gives you a secure location for storing diverse passwords and other kinds of login information. It’s a powerful and easy-to-use password manager for Mac desktops as well as iPhone and iPad devices. In fact, Keeper works seamlessly across all of your mobile devices, tablets, computers, and web browsers.

Keeper remembers, so you don’t have to

With Keeper, all your devices from MacBooks to iMacs are protected and secure. Instead of remembering and managing dozens of different passwords, you’ll select one strong master password for your Mac that is only used for Keeper. Then Keeper does the rest. It’s the most secure and convenient way to keep track of passwords, logins, credit card numbers, bank accounts and other personal information on Mac devices and on any platform.

More than passwords

Using custom fields, Keeper can also help you protect and securely access data such as answers to security questions, pin numbers, and account numbers. You can also securely store files on your Mac’s Keeper vault such as your passport photo, loan documents, important videos or any other private files. At the same time, you can securely share individual records or entire folders with other Keeper users; all you need is an email.

Why Keeper as your Mac Password Manager?

Keeper is a Zero-Knowledge platform, which means your Mac passwords and private information are stored in your personal encrypted digital vault and only accessible by you. The data stored in your Keeper vault is encrypted and decrypted locally on your Mac using keys that are derived by your master password. No one else can decrypt your data (not even us).

In addition to the advantages of its zero-knowledge architecture, Keeper supports a number of two-factor authentication methods for Mac devices—including your Apple Watch. On most MacBook Pro devices, Keeper supports the use of Touch ID to login to your vault.
