From the Workbench...
Since we had the password article from last month, there’s been some discussion with our customers. So we are following up the month with a few key points. We’ve simplified it to some quick and short do’s and don’ts regarding better password security.
Don’t
- Use one common password for all devices
- Use name person, pet or other things we love the most
- Add year of birth to increase password length or strength password
- Use the same password for social media accts. Example: Don't have Facebook, Twitter, etc. the same
- Use same password for your on-line accts.
- List of passwords (file) on the computer
Do
- Have different password or pin for each device. Example: Smart phone different than tablet or computer
- Have a strong password for online banking; consider changing password occasionally thru the year
- Have different password for online sites. Example: ‘This’ social media password is different from ‘other’ social media site acct.
- Create complex password when possible. The approach to the password is complex, but to you its easy. I like the example of using first letter of a phrase you know &/or combine with a random symbol or number. -
- Write down your password on a sheet or small book. We all have different sites that require login information it’s hard for anyone to remember it all.
- Keep your computer up-to-date with the current security updates. We can help. With summer we are not inside as much and we don’t use our computer as much. It’s a great time to bring in your computer for some regular maintenance.
Finally, when you’re done with your computer at the end of the day, turn it off. When you’re sleeping, give your online presence a rest too.
