Weak Passwords Are How Most Breaches Start
According to the ACSC, compromised credentials are involved in over 80% of data breaches. It is not sophisticated hacking -- it is someone using a password that was leaked in a previous breach, and because people reuse passwords, that one leak opens the door to banking, email, and business accounts.
A password manager solves this completely. It generates unique, strong passwords for every account, stores them securely, and auto-fills them when you log in. You only need to remember one master password. Combined with multi-factor authentication -- where you need your phone or a security key to log in -- your accounts become virtually impenetrable to credential-based attacks.
We come to your Melbourne home or office, set everything up on all your devices, migrate your existing passwords from browsers and sticky notes, and walk you through how it all works. For businesses, we configure shared vaults, team access, and password policies that actually get followed.
Password & MFA Services for Melbourne
Everything you need to stop reusing passwords and start using proper authentication across every account.
1Password Setup
Our most recommended option. We install 1Password on all your devices, import passwords from browsers, create your vault structure, and set up family or team sharing if needed.
Bitwarden Configuration
The best free and open-source option. We set up Bitwarden across all platforms, configure auto-fill, import existing passwords, and enable premium features if you choose to upgrade.

We enable multi-factor authentication on your banking, email, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, social media, and any other accounts that support it. Authenticator app or hardware key.
Security Key Setup
YubiKey or Google Titan hardware security keys configured for your most sensitive accounts. The strongest form of MFA available -- phishing-resistant and impossible to intercept remotely.
Business Password Policies
For Melbourne businesses, we implement password policies, configure shared vaults with appropriate access controls, and set up onboarding and offboarding workflows for team credentials.
Password Migration
We export saved passwords from Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, import them into your new password manager, remove duplicates, and flag any that have been compromised in data breaches.
Password & MFA FAQ
What Melbourne clients ask about password managers and multi-factor authentication.
For most Melbourne households and individuals, we recommend 1Password. It has the best balance of security, usability, and cross-platform support. For budget-conscious users, Bitwarden is excellent -- it is free, open-source, and does everything most people need. For businesses already on Microsoft 365, the built-in Microsoft Authenticator can work well. We assess your situation and recommend what fits best.
This is a valid concern and we address it during setup. 1Password provides an Emergency Kit -- a document containing your secret key and space for your master password that you store in a safe place (not on your computer). We also set up biometric unlock (Face ID, fingerprint) on your devices so you rarely need to type the master password day to day. For families, we can configure emergency access so a trusted person can recover the vault if needed.
Password managers use zero-knowledge encryption, meaning the company that makes the software cannot see your passwords. Your vault is encrypted with your master password before it ever leaves your device. Even if the company's servers were breached, attackers would get encrypted data they cannot read. This is vastly more secure than reusing passwords, saving them in browsers, or writing them on sticky notes -- which is what most people do without a password manager.
Yes. We configure multi-factor authentication across your entire team -- Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, accounting software, CRM, cloud storage, and any other business tools that support it. For businesses, we recommend authenticator apps over SMS (which can be intercepted via SIM swapping). We can also deploy hardware security keys like YubiKeys for staff who handle sensitive financial or client data.
