Free Password Manager: Grassroots.org has teamed up with Dashlane, the world's best password manager and digital wallet, to provide Dashlane Premium free to our members for 6 months.
Free Password Manager and Secure Digital Wallet
Non-profits have dozens of web accounts to manage: email, cloud services, fundraising sites, social media, and more. They’re all protected with passwords, and all the passwords have to be strong (e.g. q6gh5Fh78U) and unique. Otherwise, they’re easy to hack, and if one account gets hacked, all other accounts with the same password are compromised. No one can remember that many strong, unique passwords, so a password manager is the best way to keep track of them all.
