Be honest. How many times have you failed to remember your password to a website and ended up looking like the guy above?

Or even worse, how many of you reuse the same password on more than one site? 😬 Uh-oh, you badly need a password manager!

Lucky for you, 1Password is giving free trials for a limited time.

Folks, no joke, I'm a HUGE 1Password fan. I've been using their service for over a decade. I've literally forced all of my friends and family to adopt a secure, encrypted password manager and now it's your turn! Even if you don't think you need a password manager, you need one.

With a secure, encrypted password manager like 1Password, you can easily create and use strong, unique, un-crackable passwords with the click of a button. All of my passwords are now 64 long, random characters and I never have to remember a single one. When I join a new site, 1Password generates a random password and saves it. I never even have to think about it.

1Password also works on every modern device. No matter what operating system or browser you use, your passwords stayed synced and completely encrypted. You can move from your computer to your phone to your tablet and easily log into any website or service without needing to remember your passwords.

This free one-year plan allows up to five individuals within a family to all have their own account. You also get 1 GB of encrypted storage for important documents, as well as access to their Watchtower service. With Watchtower, you're automatically alerted whenever one of your passwords is found on the Internet, letting you know it's time to change it pronto!

If you're looking for a perpetually free option, LastPass is another solid option. But I've always felt like a password manager isn't something I want to skimp on. For the price of a small coffee each month, I can have the peace of mind knowing that I'm secure online.

I really can't over-stress how important a password manger is. And now with 1Password giving away such a huge freebie? There's literally no better time to start using one!

It's no secret I'm a big fan of Amazon Prime. From unlimited photo storage to free streaming movies & shows to free eBooks that change every day – it's hard not to find a useful perk on top of the free 2-day shipping!

But did you know Amazon Prime members also get a free month's Washington Post digital subscription?

With the pace of news these days, it's nice having a legitimate source to turn to instead of relying on Facebook or Twitter or what your friends heard.

Your digital subscription gives you unlimited access to all WashingtonPost.com articles, plus access to all the news via any supported device like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Once you've started your free subscription, simply click the “Login with Amazon” button on The Washington Post and your access will be granted.

Remember to Cancel Your Free Washington Post Subscription

After the free month, you're given a Prime special offer where your monthly subscription is just $3.99 instead of the normal $9.99. However, it's super easy to cancel your subscription and not pay a dime too!

1. Go to your Amazon Account page.
2. Look under “Memberships and Subscriptions” and click “Other subscriptions” to load your Washington Post details.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to cancel your free subscription.

Free Subscription for Military and Government Members

While researching this post, I also discovered that members of the military and government employees also get a complimentary digital The Washington Post access! All you need to start a subscription is a valid .MIL or .GOV email address. Based on their FAQs, it looks like this is a permanent subscription!

All in all, not a bad offer for Amazon Prime members or government employees! Becoming an informed citizen and voter is even more important these day and it's nice to see The Washington Post making it slightly easier for many of us.

There's a solid chance this post is going to blow some of your minds, so buckle up (not sure how a buckle can save your mind from exploding, but I digress.) Long story short, there's a site called Twitch.tv where you, or more likely your kids, can watch people play video games. It sounds stupid, I know, but it's amazing. I spend at least an hour on the site every day with 9.7 million of my closest friends, and there truly is something for everybody. Want to watch some of the best players in the world, like my brother, play? Have at it. Want to be entertained and laugh your butt off? No problem. Heck, I'll sometimes watch people play a game in different languages just for the heck of it!

Amazon ended up buying Twitch a few years back for a cool Billion dollars, which explains why they finally paired together and created Twitch Prime. Basically, if you have an Amazon Prime or a student Prime account, you can link it to your Twitch account and get tons of cool freebies each month along with some cool perks that roll over every month.

For starters, you get 1 free channel subscription each month, a $5 value. That means every month you can pick any partnered channel and subscribe to them for free, thus helping support them. Amazon will pay the full $2.50 share they'd normally receive and you'll get all the in-channel perks of being a subscriber, like accessing their emotes and getting their subscriber badge next to your name in chat. On top of that, Twitch Prime members get ad-free viewing along with the ability to change the color of your name in chat, which are perks typically reserved for Turbo members. In fact, if you pay for Turbo, I'd suggest canceling that subscription and going with Twitch Prime instead.

So, should you go buy Amazon Prime just to get Twitch Prime perks? Probably not. But do you already have an Amazon Prime account along with somebody in the household who loves Twitch.tv and/or video games? If yes, then there's no reason not to link the two accounts and share the cool perks!
