Use Mitto To Keep You Safe

Using our safe and secure password manager can help keep you safe on Cyber Monday, through the holiday season, and all throughout the year. Here are just a few ways that using Mitto helps to protect you:

• Mitto helps you to use different passwords for all the sites you shop on. By using different, strong passwords for each site you visit, you significantly reduce the chance of someone accessing your other accounts if one of those is compromised. Your bank may use strong security practices with your passwords, but what about that forum you participate in? Do the right thing and use strong, unique passwords for each site.

• Avoid phishing by having Mitto log you in. Expect a lot of fake specials, coupons, etc. such to come through your email this year leading you to sites that look like the places you want to be, but are actually fraudulent sites that steal your information. Since Mitto always logs you in to the sites that you are trying to go to, you never have to worry about handing over your information to a fraudulent site.
