Why It Matters
One secure place + unique passwords = far less reuse, faster logins, and fewer panicky resets when you forget something. It’s safer than writing passwords in a notebook.
Questions and Thoughts
- “Can password apps be hacked?” → Trusted apps encrypt your passwords; this is much safer than reuse or notes. Add the extra login step to the app itself.
- “What if I forget the main password?” → Use a memorable phrase and keep a sealed hint in a safe place.
- “Too many accounts.” → Start with five: main email, device account (Apple/Google), bank app, cloud storage, and one social account.
Care Notes
Don’t write OTPs, card PINs, CVV, or UPI PIN in your phone’s Notes or on paper. Keep these private and enter them only when needed.
