In today’s digital world, there is an increasing amount of services that we use on a daily basis which depend on our online identity. Social media, e-mail, apps, entertainment, and any other online service you could imagine play a big role in our every day life. The problem: they all require a password.
The struggle of having too many different passwords is all too real, and I can speak for myself when I say that it can become quite frustrating, especially if you prioritize safety, in which case those passwords can become ridiculously long, complex and difficult to remember! So what do we do? Do we use one password for everything and compromise safety? Do we bite the bullet?
Montreal Entrepreneur Daniel Robichaud has a solution: put them all into one place! Amongst other start-ups, Robichaud’s latest is PasswordBox inc., an app which enables users to store and keep track of all their passwords in one secure location – “a virtual safety deposit box” which is controlled by a master password. The service works conveniently through users’ internet browsers and it automatically logs them onto sites; it is free for up to 25 passwords, followed by a $1 fee a month thereafter.
