======================================================================World 
Password Day is here Most TechRadar Readers are using Google Password 
Password manager's are considered best practice for password hygiene 

We polled our TechRadar Pro readers on WhatsApp (you can join our channel 
here) to ask them which password manager they use to keep their accounts 
safe, and the most popular was Google password manager, a free to use service 
easily accessible and built into Chrome and Android devices, with 39% of 
respondents choosing this service. You can check out our full review of 
Google Password Manager here . 

Worryingly, following closely behind were the readers who dont use a password 
management service at all, with 20% of our readers choosing to manage their 
accounts by themselves. Take a look at our picks for best password manager 
here if you need any recommendations. 

Trusting a third party with your passwords and credentials naturally comes 
with an element of risk, especially given that security attacks on password 
managers have soared in just the last year. If you choose to handle your 
password hygiene yourself, make sure to rotate them often, never reuse them 
between sites, and always change them immediately if theyre exposed in a 
breach. A close second 

Of those who do use a password manager, Apple Passwords came just behind 
Google Passwords with 23% choosing the service. This is a pretty basic 
manager, free and built in with Apples OSes, which helpfully reports on data 
breaches and password health. 

Many of our readers (17%) use a different third party service, if thats you, 
feel free to let us know which you recommend and why. No matter which you 
use, password management is definitely important, especially given how much 
of our lives is digital; 

"Good password hygiene and management is crucial in today's world, where we 
all have many different accounts, says Joel Latto, Threat Advisor at F-Secure 

If a hacker gains access to an account that uses a similar password to 
another, it's easy for them to also obtain information from the other 
account. This makes it easier for them to obtain more information about you, 
putting you at higher risk of identity theft, which can have devastating and 
distressing consequences including financial loss." You might also like Take
