When choosing a password there are some rules that can help keep your details safe.
- 1. Do not use words that have personal significance.
- 2. Mix letters, numbers and use case sensitivity (upper and lower case letters). e.g. instead of “password” try “pA55woRd”
- 3. Find a way to remember your password. A good way to do this is to choose the first letters of a sentence that you will remember. e.g. "I like shopping at WilkinsonPlus” would be: “IlsaWP”
- 4. Try to memorize the password and avoid writing it down.
- 5. The longer the better. Don't make a password that's less than 6-8 characters.
- 6. Do not use the same password for everything. If someone finds this password, they could get access to everything.
