 A password manager is software that stores the usernames and passwords to your online accounts. It can automatically fill in usernames and passwords on login pages, generate new random passwords, and sync your passwords across multiple devices. Using a password manager can save you a lot of hassle and-when used properly-dramatically improve your privacy, safety, and security online.
 [Password strength](https://brave.com/glossary/password-strength/)
 Password strength is the measure of the security of a password, typically based on length, complexity, and uniqueness. The strength of a password is often described in terms of how long it would take to correctly guess (or "crack") that password using current-day software and hardware tools.
+[Peer-to-peer network](https://brave.com/glossary/peer-to-peer/)
+A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a collection of connected computers with no single controller. Each participating computer, called a peer or a node, is both a user and a provider of resources. Peers contribute to a P2P network by sharing resources such as storage space, processing capabilities, and bandwidth. A P2P network is decentralized, which makes it different from the traditional client/server arrangement where a server only provides content and a client only uses content.
 [Personal data](https://brave.com/glossary/personal-data/)
 In a digital setting, personal data is information that can be used to describe attributes of-or even identify-an individual. This data includes information that directly identifies an individual, such as name, email address, or social security number. Personal data can also include less obvious types of information, such as IP address, browser cookies, geolocation data, or biometric data that-when combined-can uniquely identify someone.

 ## U
 [URL](https://brave.com/glossary/url/)
 A URL (short for Uniform Resource Locator) is a string of letters, numbers, and special characters that identifies a place on the Internet, such as a website, and provides a method for reaching it. When browsing the Web, URLs appear in the address bar of your browser, as with `https://www.brave.com/glossary`. For this reason URLs are sometimes called "addresses."
+[User agent](https://brave.com/glossary/user-agent/)
+A user agent is software used to communicate with the Internet. The user agent software submits requests for Web content on behalf of the user, and receives and displays the content on the user's device. The most familiar form of user agent is a Web browser like Brave, Chrome, or Safari. User agents also supply the website provider some details on what software and hardware is being used to display content to the user.
 [UTM](https://brave.com/glossary/utm/)
 A UTM is a parameter that can be appended to the end of a website address (or URL), and share information about where you got the URL from. UTMs are a common way for marketers to learn how visitors are finding their site, and are often associated with tracking.
