Why are password managers recommended as a security tool?
- A.They generate and store unique, strong passwords for each account, reducing password reuse
- B.They replace multi-factor authentication
- C.They eliminate the need for passwords entirely, and a password manager stores every credential in cleartext by design
- D.They encrypt network traffic automatically
Why A is correct
Password managers generate complex, unique passwords for every account and store them in an encrypted vault accessed by a single master password. This eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords and prevents password reuse, which is a major security risk since a breach of one account could compromise all accounts using the same password.
