How a password manager is working
I will try to make it as easy as possible.
A password manager is usually a browser extension that will take over all the login and registration page
Once you are about to enter your username and password, the password manager app will propose you enter a complex password so it harder for hackers to guess.
Then from there, after the registration process, it will add for you in the password manager vault your username and password for this particular website.
That’s it, you don’t have to remember this complex password anymore the password manager will do it for you when you come back to the website.
For the geek, the technical aspect of a password manager is quite complex.
It encrypts all your password in a secure vault on the cloud, that only you can unlock it with your master password.
Hope this info was useful for you and give you the big picture about what a password manager is.
Take care
