To help protect RPI accounts and data, follow these best practices when using password managers.
Use a password manager to create and store strong, unique passwords for each account.
Keep your personal and RPI credentials separate - use different accounts or tools.
Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) or passwordless login wherever available.
Choose a password manager that:
- Encrypts your data
- Requires a strong master password or biometric login
- Offers secure backup and recovery options
What You Should Avoid
- Do not store RPI passwords in personal browser-based password managers (e.g., Chrome, Edge,
Firefox).
- Do not save institutional credentials on shared or unmanaged devices.
- Do not share your password manager account or credentials with others.
- Avoid using password managers that do not offer encryption or require a master password.
We recommend using passwordless authentication for RPI services whenever possible.
Note - RPI does not currently offer an enterprise password manager, so users are responsible for choosing
secure tools and using them appropriately.
