Course Description
Join CyberFyfe for a 60-minute Lunch & Learn focused on one of the simplest ways to improve cybersecurity: using a password manager.  Designed for small businesses and individuals, this session will explain how password managers work, why they are safer than reused or weak passwords, and how they make everyday account access easier and more secure.

We will cover common concerns, best practices, and real-world uses for both personal and business accounts.  A live demo will walk attendees through core features, and participants are encouraged to bring a laptop to explore along the way.  Offered through the Glenwood Chamber, this session is free to Chamber members and $30 for non-members. Lunch is included.
