Tools that store and manage passwords securely are called what?

• A. Password privacy
• B. Password history
• C. Password expiration
• D. Password managers

Answer: (D)

Password managers are specialized tools that securely store and organize your login credentials in an encrypted vault, protected by a master password. They generate strong passwords, autofill logins, and often sync across devices, so you don’t need to remember or retype multiple credentials. This makes them the best fit for securely handling many passwords and avoiding reuse. The other terms describe concepts rather than a storage and management solution: password privacy is about keeping passwords confidential, password history is a log of previously used passwords, and password expiration refers to policies about changing passwords after a certain time.
