If you bought a security camera from a big store like Best Buy, Target or Walmart, you're probably wondering if you can return a security cam or system there. You usually can, but you'll need to follow the store's specific policies about returns.

It certainly can. Password managers can auto-generate passwords for new logins, saving you precious brainpower and time. You can set parameters for the length of the password or for certain kinds of characters it must contain, but the app will do its best to create and store the toughest password possible. That doesn't just save you some headaches, it's also great for home security. One of the easiest ways any home is hacked is through a very weak or nonexistent Wi-Fi password. As you enter your old home security passwords into a password manager, it will usually tell you if they're weak or st
