How to remember your Apple ID password and keep it secure

How to remember and keep your Apple ID password secure

As you can see, the Apple ID password recovering process is no picnic. Can you prevent it? The short answer is yes.

The only reason you need to recover your Apple ID password is forgetting it. Or, more precisely, you failing to memorize all your passwords without writing them down.

Even if you successfully change your Apple ID password today, you are likely to forget it again over time. You could write down this passcode, but that’s not safe. You shouldn’t store your passwords on a USB flash drive or in an unencrypted form on your computer. Writing them down in a notebook or on a piece of paper is not a great idea, as well. Be cautious of cybercriminals and third parties “peeking over your shoulder”.

So, what is a safe place to store your passwords? Meet the Passwarden password manager. It offers top-notch storage for all your passwords and other valuable information.

Note: Passwarden is a part of the MonoDefense security bundle.
