A password manager is a software program to prevent password fatigue by automatically generating, autofilling and storing passwords.[1][2] It can do this for local applications or web applications such as online shops or social media.[3] Web browsers tend to have a built-in password manager. Password managers typically require a user to create and remember a single password to unlock to access the stored passwords. Password managers can integrate multi-factor authentication.
