You may know by now that you need a secure password manager. The best password is one even you don’t remember, but if you’re not used to using a password manager, it can seem daunting to set one up (and change all your passwords if you’ve been using weak ones). To sweeten the deal, there are a number of extra features that most popular password managers come with that can make the effort even more worthwhile.

Usually, a website will email you after a breach to let you know that you need to change your password, but not all do. Rather than obsessively following the news to find out about the latest hack, password managers can let you know when an account has been compromised and tell you when a site has been compromised.
Since your password manager knows what your current password is (that’s its job, after all) and when it was added to your vault, it can tell if you haven’t updated your password since a known hack took place.
