  • Don’t write down your passwords, carry them with you, or keep an in obvious place
  • Don’t use the same password for everything
  • Don’t use personal information in a password such as: birthdays, addresses, special dates/names, etc.
  • Change passwords every 60-90 days

 

Protecting your identity:

  • Don’t carry your social security card with you
  • Only carry around the credit cards you may need, leave the rest at home in a safe place
