Password managers are great. Especially when you have different passwords for different web sites. Sure, you can write them down on a notebook (not recommended!) or try and remember what password is for which web site, or you can spend $$$ for a password manager that, if you decide not to use anymore, you’ll loose all of your passwords. OR you can use a free password manager that’s built in to some popular web browsers such as Firefox, Safari, and others. But how do you use them?
Most of the time, when a user first uses a browser and goes onto a site to enter an username and password, the browser will ask him/her if they want it to save the username and password from then on. But there maybe times when a user has to manually enable the option.
Here’s how to get in to the password manger in Safari:
- While in Safari, select Safari > Preferences.
- Click on the Password option.
- Enter the system password.
- That’s it.
Here’s where all of your usernames and passwords would be stored. You can search for a website and reveal a username and password for that site.
For other web browsers, you may want to check the web browser’s documentation for information on how to use it.
