Wait! Don’t spend money on password managers….If you use Safari or another browser, you may already HAVE one!
Password managers are great. Especially when you have different passwords for different web sites. Sure, you can write them down on a notebook (not recommended!) or try and remember what password is for which web site, or you can spend $$$ for a password manager that, if you decide not to use anymore, you’ll loose all of your passwords. OR you can use a free password manager that’s built in to some popular web browsers such as Firefox, Safari, and others. But how do you use them?

Most of the time, when a user first uses a browser and goes onto a site to enter an username and password, the browser will ask him/her if they want it to save the username and password from then on. But there maybe times when a user has to manually enable the option.
Here’s how to get in to the password manger in Safari:
- While in Safari, select Safari > Preferences.
- Click on the Password option.
- Enter the system password.
- That’s it.
Here’s where all of your usernames and passwords would be stored. You can search for a website and reveal a username and password for that site.
For other web browsers, you may want to check the web browser’s documentation for information on how to use it.
