Password Manager: Your Cyber Secret Compartment Ring

Is your organisation doing all it reasonably can to keep employees’ cyber secrets safe?

With 90% of employee passwords guessable within 6 hours, 62% of employees sharing work passwords through clear text, and 57% of employees saving passwords left in plain sight, password management clearly isn’t where it needs to be. People need somewhere to keep their secrets secure, easy to use, and readily available all the time.

Since ancient times, secret compartment rings have been used to hide small objects of value and importance, from memorabilia to poison or even left empty, symbolising secrecy or mystery. They were associated with intrigue, espionage, and mysticism. Today, secret compartment rings are sometimes crafted as unique pieces of jewellery, serving amongst other things as symbols of hidden knowledge shared secretly with others.

Password managers are their cyber security equivalent. They provide their owner with a unique, personal digital vault to keep secure their hidden knowledge – not just their passwords, but also sensitive files, including documents and images. Only the owner has access to their digital vault, needing only to remember one password (typically a passphrase) which nobody else, not even, their service provider can access.

Password managers are available on any device, keeping in sync, which means the owner can access their secrets wherever they are, whether on their workstation or mobile. They also enable sharing of secrets with others, whether permanently, temporarily or even one-time access. Pre-emptive features, such as auto-detecting of malware sites and auto-fill of forms on trusted sites, make life easier for the password manager owner, as well as keeping their secrets safe.
