Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to change your passwords every 60 days or use long strings of special characters like "&$%^#*." Instead, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the best way to protect vital online accounts like your bank or email is to make your password long (at leasteight characters, though longer is better).

What's more, you should use unique passwords for each and every account. And while that may sound cumbersome, it doesn't have to be. Password managers like LastPass let you securely store your unique passwords in one place. That's where macOS Keychain Access comes in.

The pre-installed Apple app is essentially a built-in password manager.

"Keychain Access is a macOS app that stores your passwords and account information, and reduces the number of passwords you have to remember and manage," explains Apple. "When you access a website, email account, network server, or other password-protected item, you may be given the option to remember or save the password."

In other words, Keychain Access remembers your passwords so you don't have to.

How to use macOS Keychain Access

Setting up and using macOS's Keychain Access is straightforward. But before you do so, make sure your computer is password protected and encrypted (it's easy). This will prevent your passwords from falling into the wrong hands if your computer is ever lost or stolen (it happens).
