To further strengthen your online accounts, you should also use a password manager. Trend Micro Password Manager helps you manage all your online passwords and makes it easier to change them easily on a regular basis. It delivers your passwords across all your devices—whether they’re PCs, Macs, Android, or iOS devices—generates ultra-secure passwords, and safeguards them with AES 256-bit encryption, to protect them from hackers and crackers.
Used in conjunction with Trend Micro Pay Guard, which is enabled with every installation of Trend Micro Security (which also bundles Trend Micro Password Manager with every subscription of Trend Micro Maximum Security), you’ll be doing your part to protect yourself from the theft of your passwords, particularly on financial and banking websites.
