1Password is a program that alleviates one of my biggest problems going on the internet, passwords. Pretty much anything online requires a password. For some of your more important accounts, it’s usually a good idea to switch up your password from others. This makes it to where you have memorize more passwords then your brain cares to register. With 1Password, you only have to remember your password once, and that’s when you’re putting it into this program. It will not only store your password, but log you into the site that the password is associated with.
