If you use a password manager to remember and generate passwords, what do you do when you're using another device and you need to access that website, but you don't know your own passwords?

Treehouse Guest TeacherGood question! As others have mentioned, there are often syncing options available. Personally, I use LastPass and have the LastPass app installed on my phone. This means that I have access to my passwords whenever I bring my phone with me.

Otherwise you could just log in to the device you have the password remembered and change it that way.

For example, 1Password and LastPass, offer various services depending on the plan you choose.
