Secure your Password

The greater variety of characters that you have in your password, the harder it is to guess.

Having a long password makes it even harder to crack but they may be more difficult to remember. Here we've outlined a few pointers.

• Ensure your passwords are at least 12 characters long.
• Be sure to use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.
• Use a three word phrase and substitute letters with numbers and symbols.
• Use a different password for every account.
• Don’t write down or share your passwords with anyone else.
• With so many passwords to remember consider using a password manager.

Do not use personal information

• Don’t use your name or names of family members or pets in your passwords.
• Don’t use your birthday, phone number, or other identifying numbers.

This information can often be found online from a variety of sources, such as through your Social Media pages.
