Should our business use a password manager?

The reason people reuse weak passwords is simple: nobody can remember dozens of strong, unique ones. A password manager solves that — it generates and stores a strong, unique password for every account, so staff only need to remember one master password (protected by MFA).

Why it's worth it for a business

• Strong, unique passwords everywhere — so one leaked password can't unlock other accounts.
• Safe sharing — share access to a shared account without emailing the password around or writing it on a sticky note.
• Instant revocation — when someone leaves, cut their access to shared logins in one step (part of good offboarding).
• Phishing resistance — a good manager only auto-fills on the real website, so it won't hand a password to a fake login page.

How it fits with MFA and passkeys

A password manager isn't a replacement for MFA — you use both. And as more services adopt passkeys, modern password managers store those too, so you're set up for the shift away from passwords entirely. Business plans add admin controls, reporting and secure sharing that consumer tools lack.
