Good Passwords

Keeping your information safe is becoming more of a challenge every day. Here are some simple tips using Good Passwords that are hard to break.

• Never give your password to anyone - A real bank will NEVER ask you for your password!!!
• Use alpha characters and numerics
• Use something that isn't easy to guess
  For example:
  • NO - birth date
  • NO - phone number
  • NO - user name
  • NO - your name
  • NO - spouses Name
• Try to put a character in the password that isn't an alpha or numeric (if allowed) ie. % * ~ # / etc
• Use at least six characters
• Never give your password to anyone - this is important - that's why its here twice!!!
