Tip of the Week – Now is a good time to change your passwords

For important passwords like bank logins and email accounts, it’s a good idea to change them periodically. Ideally you would change them every 3 months, but that can be inconvenient, so January is a good time to browse through your SplashID Safe database and pick out a few high security records to edit.

We’ve talked about it before, but here a some pointers on making good passwords:

– use a combination of letters and numbers and at least one uppercase character

– use different passwords for different sites

– stay away from the easily guessed passwords like Jen123

– since you’re using SplashID already, try to use the password generator to get truly random passwords
