00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:01.240
- [Narrator] You need a password

2
00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:03.900
for just about every online account.

3
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:06.770
Yet so many of us use
the same simple password

4
00:00:06.770 --> 00:00:08.380
for multiple accounts.

5
00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:10.110
And while that's easier,

6
00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:11.430
it increases the likelihood

7
00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:13.773
of your personal
information being exposed.

8
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.410
Humans have been using passwords

9
00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:19.190
for as long as we've been
keeping other humans out,

10
00:00:19.190 --> 00:00:21.730
but fast forward to the
age of personal computers,

11
00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:23.930
and people now have to
remember more passwords

12
00:00:23.930 --> 00:00:25.190
than they can keep up with.

13
00:00:25.190 --> 00:00:26.900
- We go to all these different sites.

14
00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:28.940
Every single one wants a password,

15
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:31.280
and many of them have these
conflicting requirements

16
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.310
about capital letters and symbols.

17
00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:36.090
The way that most people
break into systems today,

18
00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:38.450
is that someone uses the same password

19
00:00:38.450 --> 00:00:39.900
on lots of different sites,

20
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:42.120
and that leads to a lot of weaknesses

21
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:43.373
that hackers can exploit.

22
00:00:44.350 --> 00:00:46.620
Google has invested really heavily

23
00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:48.490
in the security of those passwords.

24
00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:50.100
We store them for you.

25
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.720
And then when you visit a website

26
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:53.000
or launch a new app,

27
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.970
you can click once just to
auto fill the information.

28
00:00:55.970 --> 00:00:57.800
- [Narrator] Also, within
your Google account,

29
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:00.640
password checkup works to find
weak or duplicate passwords,

30
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.860
and alerts you if an account
has been compromised.

31
00:01:02.860 --> 00:01:04.000
- In the future, we hope

32
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.530
passwords will be a thing of the past,

33
00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:07.580
as we replace them with new technologies

34
00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:10.370
like biometrics and secure
device authentication.

35
00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:12.540
- [Narrator] Life today
requires more unique passwords

36
00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:14.560
than the average person can remember.

37
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.810
So a password manager,

38
00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:17.810
like the one built into Google Accounts,

39
00:01:17.810 --> 00:01:20.963
can make your life easier and
hackers' lives a lot harder.
