Passwords
It is highly recommended that you use secure, strong passwords. Never use words, birthdays, or other easily to crack/guess passwords. Your password should be random characters that include UPPERCASE, lowercase numb3rs and $ymbols. Your password should also be at least 10 characters long and it is recommended that you not use the same password twice. It is also recommended that you rotate your passwords or change them every few months.
Phishing
While rare, it is possible that you may see an email that links to a site requesting login information. You should NEVER trust links sent via email and you should always retype the URL of the site you are attempting to login to yourself.
