Choosing the right password.

Choosing the right password is crucial in preventing identity theft and potential online fraud. It is important when choosing a new password to consider these general Do's and Don'ts.

Do's…

• Choose a password that is a combination of letters and/or numbers.
• Ensure your password is unique and difficult to guess.
• Is longer rather than shorter. We recommend at least 6 letters.
• Use different passwords for all your web accounts so that if somebody has access to one account they don't instantly have access to all your accounts.

Don'ts…

• Avoid the use of family names, pets, street addresses, license plates, work-related names, etc for passwords.
• Avoid general common names or titles such as '123456', mypassword, password, or your username.
• Choose a password that is difficult to remember or needs to be written down.
