Password Security Tips
Using an insecure password can result in your account being
compromised. Follow these guidelines to select and maintain a
secure password:
-
Don't use passwords that consist of easily accessible
personal information, such as address, phone number, date of birth, ssn or last four digits of that number,
or mothers maiden name.
-
Make your passwords at least six characters and a combination
of numbers and letters. They should also include both capital
and lowercase letters.
-
Avoid using words that can be found in a dictionary.
-
Don't use the same passwords for multiple sites. Reusing
passwords, although, tempting, is a security risk. We have
found that when a hacker gets a hold of a password, they will
try to use it on hundreds of other sites to try to access your
personal information.
-
Don't give your password out to anyone.
-
Change your passwords frequently
