Keep your online accounts safe with a free password manager — and make your master password something that inspires you every day.
Who is this for?
Everyone! If you use the internet, you need strong passwords. A password manager makes this easy and free.
What is a password manager?
A password manager is an app that remembers all your passwords for you. You only need to remember one password — your master password. The app handles everything else.

How to set up a password manager
- Pick one from the table above and create an account
- Choose a strong master password (see tips below!)
- Install the browser extension so it can fill in passwords automatically
- Let it generate random passwords for every website — each one will be unique and strong
- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security
Important: Your master password is the only one you need to remember. Make it strong, but make it memorable. Never write it on a sticky note!
Use a positive affirmation as your master password
Here's a creative approach: instead of a random jumble of letters, use a positive affirmation as your master password. It's long (which makes it strong), meaningful (which makes it memorable), and you'll type it every day — so why not make it inspiring?
Examples by profession
If you're a... | Try something like... |
Writer | My words are powerful! |
Teacher | I am making a positive impact on my students. |
Artist | I create beauty in the world. |
Programmer | printf("I am a coding genius"); |
Healthcare worker | I am a healer of the body and mind! |
Anyone | Every day I grow stronger and kinder. |
Tips for a strong affirmation password
- Make it unique — don't use a famous quote that could be found online
- Make it personal — reflect your goals, passions, or values
- Add numbers or symbols to make it even stronger (e.g., "I create beauty in the world #2026!")
- Keep it long — longer passwords are harder to crack, and a full sentence is naturally long
