A password vault, also referred to as a password manager or locker, is a secure and encrypted digital storage solution created to manage various login credentials, including usernames and passwords.
A password vault's primary purpose is to assist users in generating, organizing, and securely storing intricate passwords for online accounts, applications, or services. Access to the vault is typically granted through a single "master" password, which provides the necessary credentials for the desired account.
Requiring users to remember only one password encourages the use of complex passwords that are less susceptible to theft or compromise. This helps users avoid using identical passwords across multiple accounts, mitigates the risk of weak passwords, and guards against cyber threats like phishing and unauthorized access.
