The first thing you need to do is change all of your passwords and make them hard to hack! Once you have done this, you should have them stored on a password manager.
Here's why you should use a password manager:
The worst thing that can happen is you forget your passwords.
We don't recommend writing down your passwords or saving them in a Word Doc. The only method to consider is a password manager app.
These apps will save your passwords and other login credentials. These apps are encrypted so it's much harder for a hacker to access the passwords.
On many of these apps, you will have to enter a password just to read what your saved passwords are!
They can also automatically autofill your login credentials on your internet accounts.
What are some of the other great features of a password manager? As we mentioned in the previous point - one of the best benefits is to autofill your login credentials. When you need to expedite business operations, you don't have time to always type every password.
If your staff are on a business trip, you want to make sure that no one can look over their shoulder to see their password. This is where a password manager comes in handy.
We also mentioned making harder passwords. A password manager can also automatically generate difficult passwords for you. These are prepared to be hacker-proof and can greatly reduce the risk of hacking.
So which password manager do you choose? We recommend reading our full guide on which ones are the best.
But you also want to look for one that has high ratings. You want to use an app that is simple to use.
Your password manager should also be able to decipher if your passwords are weak and/or vulnerable to any attacks.

Once you've decided which is the best one, make sure to use the premium version for best results.
