Many times a need arises to duplicate a WhatsApp group. Some of the possible scenarios are.

• You have a group where you are the group admin and you set the group settings which allows only Admins to send messages. And you wanted to create another group with the same participants where everybody can send messages
• you would like to duplicate a group with few participants added/deleted to cater to different interests( Movie lovers/ Only Music lovers)

Remembering passwords is next to impossible? Some people scribble in notebooks which is not a practical solution Or even some store them in their local system. This may be a safe solution as you only have access to your system. But what if you are mobile and need to check your websites while in taxi, airport, or in office or in the outstation?

The solution is a password manager. Many of the browsers like Google, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge provide Password Managers. How does the Password manager Work? Let us see in detail.

A password manager is a software application that store and manages the passwords that a user has for various websites or Apps. Password managers store the passwords in a totally encrypted format and provide secure access to all the password information with the help of a master password.

Let us see how Google Password manager work. Click Here

The important point to remember is that you should have a strong password of length more than 8 characters(a combination of alphabets, number, and special characters like @,%#, etc) for your Gmail account. The password strength should be strong.( Either remember this or store in a safe place). That is all. All the websites you have logged in using chrome will be stored in Google Password Manager and you need not remember them or write in a register.

Whenever you want to open the password manager, you need to login with Gmail and once opened it will show all the websites you have opened with chrome.

For websites where passwords are saved, you can click and open the site, and login in form is auto-filled( if you have enabled the auto sign-in options in settings as shown above. No need to type a password in the login form.

Password Checkup

One of the fine feature of password manager is Password Checkup.
