Tech Tip of the Week: Secure Your Password!

Passwords are the 1st line of defense against account hijackers. Use a STRONG password!
Use unique passwords for your accounts, especially important ones like email and online banking.
Use a long password. The longer your password is, the harder it is to guess.
Use a password with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Try using a phrase that only you know. For example, for your email you could start with “My friends Tom and Jasmine send me a funny email once a day” and then use numbers and letters to recreate it: “MfT&Jsmafe1ad” is a password with lots of variation.
