Keep Your Online Accounts Safe
With These Password Tips 

 

Online passwords are the first line of defense against criminals, which is why it is so important to have strong passwords for each of your important accounts. Here are some tips for creating and maintaining secure passwords: 

  • Use a long password made of numbers, letters and symbols. About eight characters is ideal.
  • Choose a different password for each account.
  • Don't write your passwords down. But if you do, don't leave them lying around.
  • Never share your password with anyone.
  • Update important passwords at least quarterly. 

Using these tips, you can help keep your Online Banking and other Internet accounts safe and secure.
