1Password

This one is sneaky because it doesn’t feel like a productivity app. But if logging in, resetting passwords, and constantly going through sign-in screens steals your focus multiple times a day, a password manager becomes one of the best productivity tools you didn’t know you needed.

1Password makes logging in to your account easy while also improving security. This app supports saving and signing in with passkeys, passwords, and even two-factor authentication (2FA) codes you need to keep safe, without forcing you to wait for text messages to arrive.

Admittedly, iPhone users might want to give Apple’s very own Passwords app a try, as it’s more integrated — and free — but that will only get you so far, especially if you also use a Windows computer or want to share your password manager with Android users.

Besides productivity, using a password manager is a great way to keep all your data safe. You can create extremely hard passwords, resting assured that you’ll never have to remember them and that it will be extremely hard for others to hack into your accounts.
