Why is data encryption more important than ever before?

Some online tools and websites store our passwords in plain text – a fully readable format – and make all our data vulnerable and easy to hack. Some, on the other hand, value our safety and therefore implement hacker-proof password security practices.

Now where’s the distinction between the two? What makes one tool reliable, while another is prone to security breaches?

It usually boils down to encryption.

We’re here to tell you why you should look no further than an encrypted password manager.

What is the most secure password manager?

The most secure password manager is the one that uses advanced cyber security technologies to protect your sensitive data wherever you go:

When you log in to your account using username and password,
While you store your passwords,
When you share your passwords with others.

All the time.

To achieve this non-stop data protection, cyber security specialists encourage everyone to use an encrypted password manager.

What’s the difference from any other password manager?

To put it simply, when you create an account in an encrypted password manager, you are asked to come up with a unique Master Password and to remember it.

Then, each time you log in to your account, your ownership and access will be verified locally on your device – encrypted and decrypted, so none of your data “flies around” in virtual space.

Your passwords are unreachable to anyone, except you, the owner.

How does an encryption in a password manager work?

During the process of encryption, the password is being translated into a ciphertext – a string of random numbers, letters and symbols, that is impossible to read without having a key to unlock the cipher. The key belongs only to the owner and is generated from his unique Master Password.

So when you store your passwords in such a password manager, there is no way hackers can access them, because they don’t have a key to unlock them.

Yes, if you share it via encrypted password manager.

Before the data leaves your device, first it is being encrypted on your device (with an extra help of RSA asymmetric encryption), and is only then sent to the recipient.

While a password travels from your device to the recipient’s, the encryption makes sure the password is sent as that cipher – unreadable throughout the whole “journey” (and destination!). In addition, PassCamp, for example, uses Transport Layer Encryption (TLS) – an additional security measure enabling extra secure data transfers.

Only when it reaches the recipient – a person to whom the password now also belongs – the key unlocks the password and only then the recipient can access it.

Neither the hackers, nor the creators of the password manager can access your account or your keys to unlock the data. In other words, in PassCamp, we know nothing about your Master Password or about any of your data stored in the PassCamp account.

This is the ultimate privacy and safety the encryption provides you.

So, for the most reliable data protection, always choose an encrypted password manager which complies with the most advanced features that guard your data against hackers 24/7.
