【51CTO.com Quick Translation】Using the same password on many websites can easily lead to hacking. If one of your accounts is hacked, the hacker can access all of your accounts. Password managers can help keep track of passwords so that you can access all of them from one place. In addition, they also come with password generators that can help create extremely reliable, unbreakable passwords.

Fortunately, there are a ton of Android password managers that include some great features. Here are some of the free, feature-rich apps in the space.
