Critical tips

Don’t write down your password

Although it may be tempting to write down your passwords and keep them near your computer, or in your wallet for easy reference, I can’t stress enough why you shouldn’t do this! Would you write down the security code to your home’s alarm system on the key panel so anyone who breaks in can disarm your alarm? You should treat your passwords with the same sense of privacy that you do your alarm codes or ATM card PIN.

Change your password every 45-60 days

By changing your password more frequently, you’ll greatly reduce the likelihood of someone being able to guess your password or use your password should they find it. In some instances of identity theft or hacking, hackers will use your password repeatedly over the course of a few days or weeks to reduce the likelihood of being caught from attention-getting account activity such as moving large sums of money at once.
The more frequently you change your password, the more likely you’ll be able to thwart hackers or malicious attacks. I know you may be thinking that the chances of your password being stolen and used to steal your identity are slim, but for the cost of remembering a new password every couple of months, its cheap insurance.

Don’t use sequential passwords

Although it may be tempting to use your same password with a different number at the end, such as ‘Password1′ followed by ‘Password 2′. This makes it easy for someone to guess your current password, especially if they have found an old password of yours.If you do choose a password that ends with a number or includes a number in the middle, don’t use a sequential number the next time you change your password.

Don’t use common words

Be careful not to include common words you would find in a dictionary or even names, in your password. One technique hackers may use to break your password is called a ‘brute force’ attack. Which focuses on common words.Brute force attacks work by using computers to try entering thousands of ordinary words per second and attempt to find one that matches your password. By making sure that your password does not include these common words, you’ll improve your overall password security, and make it much more difficult for your password to be deciphered.…
