Keep passwords in a safer place
Step 1 of 5: Choose a tool you can use
Consider a reputable built-in or separate manager. Check device support and recovery. Do not save passwords in a browser on a public or shared device outside your control.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Protect the manager
Set a strong unique main password if the service uses one, and enable its available extra sign-in protection. Keep your own device locked. Anyone who can open the manager may be able to access stored accounts.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Save one genuine account entry
Open the real service directly, not through an unexpected message. Use the manager to store or generate a unique password, following its instructions. Check that the saved website address and username match the account.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Check recovery separately
Review the manager’s recovery instructions and the account’s recovery email or phone. Keep recovery codes somewhere secure that remains accessible if the device is lost. Do not put secret values in this printable checklist or share them with helpers.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Review the checklist
Tick: unique passwords, protected device, manager access secured, recovery understood. Prioritise your email account because it can help recover others. If a password has been exposed, change it on the real service and check that account’s security settings.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Is a note on my phone a password manager?
An ordinary note does not necessarily provide a manager’s protections. Use a purpose-built tool whose lock and recovery arrangements you understand.
