Password Security
Here are some helpful tips for keeping your information secure on the internet.
1. Update your email password and hint questions regularly – and make sure they are not generic. Use a combination of alphanumeric characters and symbols, eg. d0nk3y#13.
I recommend doing this monthly.
2. Use different passwords for your email accounts to your banking or other personal online accounts.
At first it seems annoying but you would be surprised how many people use the same password for every account they have – banking, email, business.
Do you really want to risk someone getting hold of that one password?
