An office manager has recommended that employees start using a password manager application to protect their credentials for the many cloud services the company uses. Which of the following is a primary benefit of using a password manager?
It automatically sets the same password on every device to keep credentials consistent.
It merges all company accounts into a single shared password so everyone can log in faster.
It helps users generate strong, unique passwords for each account and stores them securely.
It displays all stored passwords to management so they can monitor employee activity.
Password managers can automatically create long, random passwords for every account and store them in an encrypted vault that the user unlocks with a single master credential. This eliminates the temptation to reuse passwords, makes credential-stuffing attacks less effective, and keeps each account protected with a strong, unique secret. Other options describe behaviors that a secure password manager should not enable, such as exposing all passwords to management or forcing one shared password across accounts.
