Password Managers

You should totally use a password manager. It creates secure, randomized passwords for the sites you visit and handles logging into them for you. This is especially useful, since humans tend to use the same password for every site. If an attacker gains the "master" password, many of your things are vulnerable to breach (This is also another reason to use MFA).

*Some password managers implement hashing, which generates a value for an inputted password using an algorithm that cannot be reversed. A common hashing algorithm is SHA256.

Extensions

Extensions are cool because they're plug-in tools for your browser. There are large ecosystems of browser extensions that many people use on a daily basis. However, there are malicious plugins that disguise themselves as useful. Common
