Password Best Practices:
Adopt the 8 + 4 Rule
This rule helps you to build passwords that are strong as steel. Use a minimum of eight (8) characters with at least one (1) upper and one (1) lower case, a (1) special character like as asterisk and a (1) number. The more random the better!
Don’t Make it Personal
It needs to be clear using personal information like your first name and birth date is a recipe for disaster.
Keep the Character Limit Down
The average person can only remember 10 characters or less (remember our minimum is 7) Long passwords run the risk of being written down so they can be remembered. If you do want to use a long password make it into a sentence you can remember!
Avoid Dictionary Words
It might sound safe to go to the dictionary for a password, but hackers actually have programs that search through tens of thousands of these words. Dictionary attack programs have been around for years.
Discourage Sharing
No one should share passwords over any electronic media.
