title: "Password Managers"
icon: material/form-textbox-password
---
Stay safe and secure online with an encrypted and open-source password manager.
Password managers allow you to securely store and manage passwords and other credentials with the use of a master password.
## Password Best Practices
- Always use unique passwords. Don't make yourself a victim of "[credential stuffing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential_stuffing)"
- Store an exported backup of your passwords in an [encrypted container](encryption.md) on another storage device. This can be useful if something happens to your device or the service you are using
- If possible, store TOTP tokens in a separate [TOTP app](basics/multi-factor-authentication.md#authenticator-apps) and not your password manager. TOTP codes are generated from a "[shared secret](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_one-time_password#Security)." If the secret is obtained by an adversary, he can generate TOTP values. Typically, mobile platforms have better app isolation and more secure methods for storing sensitive credentials
