# Digital Tools for World Password Day
Use these digital tools below:

## Tool #1: Secure Password Generator and Vault
Generating secure passwords has gotten easier, but people still stumble with keeping track of them. Tools like Bitwarden, Keepass, and others serve as a secure password generator and vault. Bitwarden, which is free for personal use on all your devices, allows you to also generate two-factor authentication codes (2FA).

## Tool #2: Authentication App for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

### What is it?
> 2FA is an extra layer of security used to make sure that people trying to gain access to an online account are who they say they are. First, a user will enter their username and a password. Then, instead of immediately gaining access, they will be required to provide another piece of information. This second factor could come from 1) something you know like a PIN or answer to a secret question; 2) something you have, like a credit card number or last 4 digits of your SSN#; or 3) something you are, like a fingerprint, an iris scan, or a voice print.

Authentication software and apps rely on generating a code. But how do you know what code to use? A digital authenticator like Authy can help:

Cleaning out your computer can help out a lot. Use Bleachbit to clean out old deleted files still on your computer (Windows, Mac), or securely wipe your internet history. Bleachbit is also available in a portable version, which means you can run it off a USB flash drive or external drive.
