It's very easy to have random passwords and keep track of them. Use a Password Manager like 1Password, Keeper, or LastPass. All 3 of these contain a random password generator that will also save your password to make logging into websites effortless while keeping your accounts secure. Be sure to turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) where possible. If you have any accounts that aren't using 2FA then stop reading this right now and go activate it!
