Going online is automatically risky, what with data thieves, snoops and location restrictions, among plenty of other hazards. One great way to make sure you’re protected is to regularly change up your passwords, and another is to connect through a virtual private network, or VPN.
Either move can take a lot of effort. But with this duo of apps — Dashlane Premium and Hotspot Shield Elite VPN — taking these precautions becomes effortless. And right now you can get three years of both for just $69.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
The Dashlane password manager imports and channels passwords from browsers into a secure interface — guarded with two-factor encryption — that captures login credentials as you type, then safely recalls them when you revisit a site. It’ll even scan your passwords for weaknesses, with a built-in password generator to replace old ones with new, stronger ones.
Meanwhile, Hotspot Elite protects all of your web traffic, even on public Wi-Fi connections, allowing for anonymized browsing, bypassing of geographically blocked content, cloud-based malware protection, and a host of other security features. Between the two of them, you’ll feel like you’re surfing the web in god mode.
