Password managers keep all your usernames and passwords at hand so you don't have to stress about forgetting them. They also encrypt your passwords for security. Do not be lulled into believing that your information is safe if you keep your passwords in something similar to a text file or spreadsheet. Even in a very secure rugged tablet with first-class security features, leaving passwords in an easily accessed file is a blunder.
It's important to use a application that you feel comfy using. If you have no idea how to use it (as an example, you don't know the correct way to bring up a certain password without having to go to that site) then you probably won't use it to its greatest benefit. There are some basic features to search for to be sure your passwords are truly protected.
Look for a password program that does the majority of the work for you, much of the time. When you go to a new site and create a username and a password, the manager should ask you to see if you need it saved, or it should save this information mechanically. On sites where you'll have to have multiple usernames and logins, it should have the power to save them separately without overwriting the older one every time.
A good password manager that is the easiest to use will usually be cloud-based, so you can access all your passwords from any PC system. However, it might also have a desktop application. This allows you to access passwords while offline. Be sure it instantly syncs with the online information.
For the last word in convenience, choose a password application that integrates with your browsers so that when you go to a site that requires a password it mechanically fills in the information. But be certain it makes use of a master password, so anyone getting a hold of your computer can't get into all your passwords.
