This is very secure but only saves web passwords via Safari.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">Open up \u201cKeychain Access\u201d to find the login keychain, which is the main keychain for your account. The Local Items keychain stores items that can be synced to Apple\u2019s iCloud Keychain service, which syncs the keychain across your Apple devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0Here, you are able to access all your stored passwords and credentials:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/nist.ac.th\/drawings\/d\/szOboFNLVyshF4JiMu7ynEA\/image?rev=56&amp;h=396&amp;w=624&amp;ac=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">Double-click on an item to reveal more information:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/Z1QHNKgTwhkqRsJYo0MbSHh4BlQ373Z1F-34O-VWA_ca4zLhdAAfw5_t8LlspMkq47TweHKMdTG79a7A_P_FP8NAt52YCxME9u5kqpFXDzA-YTv_ct6h75KKBkdD4zQ_vPKo0xbw\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">You can also use this app to retrieve forgotten passwords if they are stored on your machine. Suppose you have a password saved to a Wi-Fi network somewhere and would like to see it. Simply check the tickbox next to \u201cShow password\u201d and the system will ask you for the password to your login keychain, which should be the same as your login password.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">You can also use the password assistant (the key symbol next to the password box) to help you create secure passwords and store them automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/zRwET-jB0R1FOcJzKThC0HXwlmmidAo1C-4oTCZ6Fvltxe6tPINLyAavx-OWcJnSHlGdmAzGin_rsvrrjnQzWkzuSyr0RVgbEnyNuQY2eMtG7tKspcfuqiMszZ_kTBLT8_vzC2ZA\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">To add a new item to Keychain Access, simply return to the main window, click File &gt; New \u2026 Item. A window will open asking you for further information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">Overall, Keychain Access is a highly useful utility that aids with password management in macOS. You may find its features useful in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.f63knty2km5k\" class=\"c9\"><span class=\"c16\">Chrome\u2019s Password Manager<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c1\"><strong><span class=\"c3\">This is a fairly INSECURE method of saving your passwords. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">Google Chrome can log you in automatically and save your passwords through its built-in password manager that syncs to the Google Account you are currently signed into. To access the current password store, go to Settings &gt; Advanced Settings &gt; Manage Passwords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">You should see the following page:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/nist.ac.th\/drawings\/d\/sOSdb783T7eOOGHO7ZY2bzA\/image?rev=12&amp;h=416&amp;w=515&amp;ac=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">To access details, click the hamburger menu (the three vertical dots) to the right of each item. You should see the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c11\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/nist.ac.th\/drawings\/d\/sS0SmDOQOBl6x3r__ovSWSQ\/image?rev=13&amp;h=316&amp;w=514&amp;ac=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">Finally, if you want to see your saved password, click the eye icon. The system may ask you for your login password. On macOS, Google Chrome will store your saved passwords in its own private store in the Keychain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c1\"><span class=\"c3\">If you decide not to use Chrome\u2019s password manager for security reasons, you have the option to disable the password manager. You can also disable auto sign-in, an option that will automatically skip login screens for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.jj4h91cis3z8\" class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c5\">Other Password Managers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re having a hard time remembering all those passphrases, you can store them in a password manager. This is an application that you can install on your computer, your web browser, and your phone that contains all your passphrases in a secure way. You will only need to remember 1 passphrase, which is the master password to access the password manager.<br \/>\nOnce you are logged in to your password manager, you can easily copy and paste your credentials from the password manager to the websites and applications you are using.<\/p>\n<p>Examples are:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/1password.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/1password.com\/\">1password<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bitwarden.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bitwarden.com\/\">Bitwarden\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastpass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.lastpass.com\/\">Lastpass<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Your devices must\u00a0require a\u00a0passcode or a password before any school accounts or any school information can be placed on the devices.
