How to Protect Your Passwords?

Password protection does NOT mean having three different passwords and rotate them among all of your accounts. Now we all have to realize that if we have a different password for every account we risk getting our personal information stolen.

Passwords should be strong and long. Each password should have the capital and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. You should not use a dictionary word in your password and it must be at least 14 characters, the longer the better. You can browse this link to find a secure password manager.

Some websites will still only allow 8-10 characters without symbols. If you find a website that does not allow a strong password does not do business with them. Find other businesses that provide good security for your information.
