The Do’s and Don'ts of creating passwords
Do :
• Mix letters, numbers and symbols, and use case sensitivity (upper and lower case letters)
• The longer the better. Use passwords that are longer than 6 characters.
• Change your passwords at least every 60 days, cycling the numeric values up or down makes the new password easy to remember.
• Try copying and pasting at least some of the characters in your password that way keyloggers won’t be able to track your keystrokes.
Don't :
• Don’t use words or phrases or numbers that have personal significance. It is very easy for someone to guess or identify your personal details like date of birth.
• Avoid writing your password down, use a reputable password manager to manage all your passwords.
• Don’t use the same password for several logins, especially if they involve sensitive financial or other personal information.
• Don’t tell anybody your password.
• When registering on websites that ask for your email address, never use the same password as your email account.
