By Brooks Duncan 66 comments. A big theme at Asian Efficiency is our love of productivity apps. Password The absolute best password manager for Mac. Essentially it works by having you creating one master password, which then grants access to all your other passwords. These passwords can be randomly generated inside of 1. Password, which means that all your individual passwords are incredibly strong and near impossible to hack. You dont have to remember all of these passwords though as your single master password gives you and only you easy access to all your other passwords and can even be triggered when unlocked via a keyboard shortcut that autofills the information in your browser for you. Password also gives you the ability to store credit card information, secure notes, software serial numbers, and other important but sensitive information like passport numbers, your SSN and bank account details securely. See an example of how Thanh uses it in his life. If you need to securely share some passwords with others, there is 1. Password Families and 1. Password Teams.
