Password Reminder

You’ve heard it before, but we’ll say it again. It’s important to have strong passwords and change them regularly to help keep your accounts safe. Here are the basics:

– Don’t use personal information. This includes names of people in your family, your address, or birthdays, since this information can be publicly available to hackers.

– Don’t use real words. Password cracking tools can process every word in the dictionary until a match is found. Instead, use uppercase and lowercase letters combined with special characters such as “&” or “#.”

– Create longer passwords. The longer it is, the better. Try for at least 10 characters.

– Don’t use the same password for multiple websites. If one website has a data breach and you’ve used that password elsewhere, it’s easier for hackers to steal more information.
