5 Tips for Creating a More Secure Password

Create a secure password to defend against account hacking. From social media to your bank account, security has never been more important.

  1. Use at least 8 characters (12+ is best)
  2. Include numbers, symbols, and uppercase and lowercase letters
  3. Use random words and numbers (not a birthday or nickname)
  4. Make a unique password for every account
  5. Change passwords regularly (without reusing old ones)

Use two-factor authentication whenever possible. Log in to get a unique code on your phone and type it in to gain account access. Only someone with your phone can access your account. 

Trouble making or remembering passwords? Use a reputable password manager, which allows you to create, store, and manage secure passwords.
