Tips - Passwords!

According to security experts, it is best to follow 6 guidelines in creating passwords. First make them random. Choose a series of characters that are  random to everyone else, but make  sense to you.

Second, passwords should be unique.

Third, a password should be at least eight characters long.

Fourth, a password should be a combination of upper and lowercase letters and at least one number or symbol should be included.

Fifth, change your password regularly and frequently.

And sixth, type your password  manually  every time you're asked for it.

Following these 6 password tips will help keep your private information secure!
