Fittest Loser: Tech Tip week one
Protecting your identity online is one way to keep your stress down and personal/financial information safe from criminals.
Use these healthy habits when it comes to choosing and maintaining your passwords for websites and online accounts.
Don't be so obvious:
Avoid common names, dates, phone numbers, or information that is easily associated with you or your loved ones.
Mix it up a bit:
Use 8-16 characters, include a mix of upper and lowercase letters, and toss in a few numbers and symbols as well.
Use a password manager:
Store complex passwords for all the services you use in a password management tool like LastPass.
