How To Protect Your Password:
[Per BlueHost]
- Memorize your password, do not write it down
- Do not share your password
- Do not use the same password you use on other services (gmail, Yahoo, etc)
- Avoid using one password for all your logins
- Avoid logging in from public computers
- Change your password frequently
- Be wary of allowing your password to be remembered by browser plugins or other utilities
Tips for choosing a password:
- Avoid dictionary words
- Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
- Use a combination of capital and lower case letters
- If you use a word, try to combine multiple words, or use "made up" words
- Avoid familiar items (names, phone number, etc)
- Avoid common passwords and generic sequences (ie. "password", "admin", "123456", etc.)
- The more characters you use, the safer (use at least 8)
