What makes a password manager a secure solution?

Master password and encryption key

VMP™ Pass stores your data using industry-leading encryption standards, but there are still some precautions you can take to protect your account credentials - not even VMP™ Pass employees can see your passwords.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

MFA is known nationwide by requiring additional layers of verification beyond just a password. This can include things like push notifications, security questions, or one-time passwords.

Dark web monitoring and password health

Dark web monitoring helps you avoid problems on the horizon, detecting any attempts to sell compromised credentials without you even noticing on breached websites. VMP™ Pass's password security dashboard gives you at-a-glance monitoring showing weak passwords and reuse, which gives you visibility into your organization's password security.

Challenges of using a password manager

Initial setup and learning curve

Getting used to a password manager isn't automatic. Not only do you need to properly organize all your online passwords and move them over, but you'll also need to learn the new tool and build it into your routine. With VMP™ Pass, we'll provide onboarding emails and a walkthrough that will guide you in getting started.

Dependency on a single master password

Using a password manager can be a life-saver, but it's also a big responsibility on its own. Yes, the VMP™ Pass password tool immediately makes your passwords and your online life more secure, but if you think it can't be cracked, your online accounts could be at risk. That's why it's important to create a unique, strong password using symbols and numbers in addition to letters. In addition to that, you can turn on multi-factor authentication.

Potential risks of cloud-based storage

Although storing your passwords in the cloud is indeed convenient, many online users worry about the possibility of data breaches. With VMP™ Pass, users can rest easy with zero-knowledge security architecture.

Types of password managers

Cloud-based password managers

These tools store your encrypted password vault on the provider's secure cloud servers. Your passwords are encrypted locally on your device before being uploaded to the cloud. These typically sync your data between all the devices you use. The cloud servers also allow you to access your passwords anytime. However, hackers, locations, and other issues can affect the cloud.

Local password managers

A local password manager just stores all of your logins—on your specific device with a cloud syncing option. This gives you more control over your data, but also means if something happens to that device, you risk losing all of those passwords.

Browser-integrated password managers

Browser password managers are built-in password management tools included in web browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Because all of the information is stored locally on your computer or device, you risk unauthorized access to your stored passwords if someone gains access to your account details.

Best practices for password management

Create strong and unique passwords

A strong password should be at least 12 characters long, include a mix of uppercase letters and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. VMP™ Pass' built-in password generator can create this immediately and recommend these passwords to increase your online security.

Regularly updating and changing passwords

You should change your passwords regularly to help protect yourself against password-related attacks and potential compromised accounts. However, changing too frequently can lead to a reduction in password strength. Update your passwords every 3-6 months, unless you suspect you've been compromised, you've shared your credentials with someone else, or if the application hasn't been used for some time.

Enabling multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication is an extra layer of security that requires more than just a password (another factor). This can be something you know, something you have, or something you are such as biometrics. To enable multi-factor authentication on any of your device, just open your password manager settings and follow the on-screen steps to complete the setup, or do it via the admin console.

Frequently asked questions

A password manager securely stores all your passwords in an encrypted vault, generates strong unique passwords for each account, and automatically fills them in when you need to log in. It eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords while keeping your accounts secure.

Writing passwords down is risky because paper can be lost, stolen, or damaged. A password manager like VMP™ Pass provides a more secure alternative by encrypting your passwords and protecting them with advanced security features while keeping them accessible across all your devices.

Yes, with the average person having over 100 online accounts, it's impossible to remember unique, strong passwords for each one. A password manager not only remembers them for you but also helps you create stronger passwords and alerts you to security breaches, significantly improving your online security.

Yes, reputable password managers like VMP™ Pass use military-grade encryption (AES-256 bit) and zero-knowledge architecture, meaning only you can access your passwords. This makes password managers far safer than reusing weak passwords or storing them in unsecured locations.

VMP™ Pass is designed with simplicity in mind. With intuitive browser extensions, mobile apps, and desktop applications, it automatically saves and fills passwords as you browse. The setup takes just minutes, and the interface is user-friendly for both beginners and advanced users.
