One of the main benefits of using CyberFOX Password Manager is the ability to create strong, unique passwords for your accounts. Creating different passwords for every account improves your overall security and lowers your potential risk in case one of your sites has a security breach.
If one site has a security breach and your password is stolen from that site, the damage can be limited to just that site if you use different passwords for every site.
