dashlane just (temporarily) locked me out of my steam account because it kept entering garbage into the authenticator code input and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. I think I figured it out now but I can't test it yet because, locked out. so uh that was pretty poor UX there, dashlane!

Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that Dashlane’s logo is literally a TEAL DEER?? (The pronunciation of TL;DR)

El gallo y la gallina

Llega una gallina a las 4 de la mañana al corral, y el gallo enfadado le grita: -¡Que son estas horas de llegar, gallina sinvergüenza! Y la gallina le responde: -¡A mi no gritas! ¡QUE AQUÍ SOY YO LA DE LOS HUEVOS BIEN PUESTOS! :) presentado por https://descuentos.guru/dashlane

Dashlane explains how attackers managed to download encrypted password vaults

A software change can look minor until it becomes a habit, which is why the useful question is what it alters in daily work rather than how loudly it is announced. Software changes often look small until they become defaults. That is how subscriptions, automation, privacy rules and platform habits reshape daily use.

Password Managers in 2025: A Security Professional’s Guide to Protecting Your Credentials

In 2025, credential theft remains the single most common entry point for cybercriminals. Weak, reused, or stolen passwords account for the majority of data breaches across industries. As a cybersecurity professional, I can’t stress enough how important it is to deploy a reputable password manager. When paired with strong multi-factor authentication (MFA), password managers dramatically reduce your attack surface and improve your digital hygiene.

⸻

What Is a Password Manager?

A password manager securely stores and encrypts all your credentials in one vault. Instead of reusing or remembering dozens of passwords, you create one strong master password. The tool then generates unique, high-entropy passwords for every account—eliminating the biggest vulnerability most people still have: password reuse.

⸻

Key Security Features You Need in 2025

A robust password manager should include:

• Zero-Knowledge Encryption – Data is encrypted on your device before it’s stored, ensuring even the vendor can’t access your credentials.

• Cross-Platform Syncing – Seamless access from Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and browsers.

• Automatic Password Generation & Autofill – High-entropy passwords per account, plus fast logins without copy-paste risks.

• Password Health Checks – Alerts for weak, reused, or breached credentials.

• Two-Factor Authentication Support – Ideally with hardware key compatibility.

• Emergency Access – A secure recovery path if the master password is lost.

⸻

Common Credential Security Mistakes

• Reusing Passwords – If one account is compromised, every account with that password is at risk.

• Writing Down Passwords – Sticky notes and unsecured files expose you to insider and physical threats.

• Relying Solely on Browser Autofill – Limited breach monitoring and weaker sharing controls compared to dedicated tools.

⸻

Top Password Managers for 2025

Here are the leading password managers I recommend based on encryption standards, cross-platform support, and security maturity:

NordPass

Zero-knowledge XChaCha20 encryption, unlimited storage, secure sharing, breach monitoring, and emergency access.

Consideration: Free version limits to one active session and requires online access.

1Password

No known breaches, “Watchtower” breach alerts, travel mode, secure file storage, and emergency kit PDF.

Consideration: No free plan; setup involves a Secret Key alongside a master password for extra security.

Bitwarden

Open-source, end-to-end encrypted, unlimited passwords/devices free, emergency access without premium for contacts.

Consideration: Interface is less polished and autofill of identities/payment info limited to browser extension.

Dashlane

End-to-end encrypted vault plus Dark Web monitoring, built-in VPN, and automatic password changer.

Consideration: More expensive and free plan very limited.

Keeper

End-to-end encryption, BreachWatch monitoring, secure messaging, unlimited identity storage.

Consideration: Free version restricted to one mobile device; upsell features can be distracting.

EveryKey

A hybrid hardware/software password solution. Generates strong credentials and auto-logins via a Bluetooth key while also enabling proximity-based lock/unlock of your accounts and devices. Ideal for users who want hardware-backed security and passwordless-style convenience.

Best Practice: Integrate Password Management Into Your Security Stack

A password manager is not just convenience software; it’s a critical security control. Incorporating it into your identity and access management (IAM) strategy ensures:

• Compliance with security frameworks (NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).

• Reduced attack surface and credential-spill risk.

• A path to better MFA adoption and user training.

⸻

The Takeaway

2025 is not the year to gamble with credential security. Whether you’re an individual user or managing an enterprise security stack, invest in a password manager and deploy MFA across all critical accounts. The combination will harden your defenses, streamline your login experience, and safeguard your digital identity against the most common attacks.

Start today—select a reputable password manager and enforce credential hygiene across all your systems.
