Creating a secure, unique password for each of your online accounts is very important. If a scammer gets even one password, they can begin to access your other accounts. We suggest changing your password periodically.

A strong password has the following characteristics:

  • Unique to each website or mobile app you use
  • At least eight 8 characters long (the longer, the better)
  • Includes lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters such as ~!@#$%^&
  • A combination of words with unusual capitalization, numbers, and special characters interspersed
  • Not a word or date easily associated with you (like family names, a pet’s name, or birthdates)
  • Something you can easily remember. While it’s not a good idea to use a single dictionary word for a password (such as “dictionary”), you can create a short phrase made up of dictionary words (such as “My1stDictionaryWasBlue!”).

Passwords are case sensitive. For example, "getF1T!?" and "GeTF1T!?" are different passwords. When choosing a password, remember the capitalization you use, and make sure that the Caps Lock key isn’t on.
