How to log in faster
Here are three ways you can simplify your daily login process
Go passwordless with Cardinal Key
A Cardinal Key is a digital certificate that is installed on a device and provides a user’s identity to a remote server in place of a SUNet ID and password. Cardinal Keys are installed on a per-device basis, and the same Cardinal Key provides authentication to VPN and web single sign-on.

Use a Password Manager
Dashlane Premium password manager is available free of charge to all current faculty, staff, and students at the Stanford School of Medicine with an active stanford.edu email account.
Dashlane securely stores your passwords in the cloud and keeps them synchronized across all your devices – including your personally-owned devices – so you no longer have to remember them. Dashlane can also help you create unique, strong passwords for the sites you visit and the apps you use. If you like, Dashlane can further simplify your computing by automatically logging you into websites. And no one else, including Stanford or Dashlane, can access your passwords.
You can learn more about Dashlane at passwordmanager.stanford.edu. To begin using Dashlane, see the “Get Started” section.
