You may need better passwords if you…
- Use the Same Password for Multiple Accounts – Do you have 1 password that you use across all your accounts? If someone gets your password, can they get into all of your accounts?
- Use Simple Words or Your Kids’ Names - Is your password, “PlayGolf2011?” Or, “SamMaryKatie?” These passwords make your account much easier to crack.
- Never Change Them – How long has your online banking password been the same? Change it at least once a year. Every six months is better.
- Store Them in Unsafe Places – Do you “hide” your passwords in easy to find places? In a Word doc called, “passwords?” Under your keyboard at work? Or taped to your laptop?
