Unpredictable passwords: Password managers generate complex, random passwords that meet security requirements, making them hard to guess.  ##### IT Management IT policy control: IT admins can enforce password policies, including complexity, length, special characters, and multi-factor authentication. Activity tracking: Monitor shared accounts, duplicate passwords, and overall password complexity.  Secure offboarding: Protect accounts after employees leave the company.  ##### Ease of Use Cross-device functionality: Password managers auto-fill passwords across devices, including desktops, tablets, phones, and some smart devices.  Easy updates: Quickly update and save new passwords when required by sites or apps.  ##### Centralized Storage Selective sharing: Share vital accounts/passwords to either a department or multiple departments. Sort and organize passwords: Easily organize accounts and passwords into folders for effortless browsing.  Cloud safety: Keep important accounts, passwords, etc. safe in the cloud; if and when disaster strikes, they'll still be accessible!  ## Additional resources - [Not using a password manager?
