 Securing your password
 =================================
 
-Your Data Delivery System (DDS) password will be used to protect your data from any unauthorized parties. Choosing a secure password is therefore essential since the password's complexity will determine how easy it is to guess the password and thereby gain access to your data. Remembering a number of different passwords for different services can be difficult, and many people resort to using the same or similar password for all, or saving them in insecure ways where they are easily lost or/and read by others.

-Due to this, we highly recommend that you use a password manager to store your passwords. An example of this is `Bitwarden <https://bitwarden.com/>`_ which is also used by the SciLifeLab Data Centre team.

+Some common password management services are `Bitwarden <https://bitwarden.com/>`_,
+`LastPass <https://www.lastpass.com/>`_, `1Password <https://1password.com/>`_.
 
 How to use password managers, e.g. Bitwarden
 =============================================
 
-Using a password manager such as Bitwarden means that you need to keep track of a single password: The password you set for the password manager. The rest are stored within the password manager, allowing you to have different complex ones for each service you use. Many of these tools have mobile apps and plugins for different browsers, which simplifies password management significantly.

-The following is an example of how to start using Bitwarden. 
+Data Centre does not provide a password management service and we do not specifically recommend
+any of the ones mentioned above. For illustrative purposes only, we provide
+detailed instructions on how to begin using Bitwarden to demonstrate the concept:
 
 1. Go to https://bitwarden.com/ 
 2. Create an account. At the time of writing, this is done by clicking ``Get Started`` in the top right corner. Fill in your information and click Create account at the bottom. Remember to choose a complex password, that you can remember. Do not share this password with anyone.
