Password Security Tips
Length – the longer your password is, the tougher it is to hack it
Use a combination of capital letters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols
Avoid common words or names
Don’t use children’s names or other personal information that can be found online
Remove or replace letters to make common words less common
- Take out vowels
- Replace “S” with $
Instead of a password, try using a passphrase - ex: RVAis110%amazing
