A note on password managers
To avoid having to remember your Presspage password at all, we highly recommend the use of a password manager. These have the following benefits:
- They help you auto-generate very strong passwords
- You don't have to remember all your passwords yourself
- Prevent you from using the same password across multiple services, which is insecure
Examples of reputable password managers are Bitwarden, Proton Pass, and 1Password. If your company security policy does not allow you to make use of these password managers, you can also use your browser's internal password manager.
