Use Strong Passwords One of the easiest and most significant ways you can increase information security is to use and securely store strong passwords. Whether it be for computer networks, software programs, confidential files, or online access to financial and payment gateway accounts, strong passwords that are difficult to guess or generate can significantly decrease the chances of confidential information becoming compromised. The following guidelines will help you select strong passwords:
- Choose passwords that are at least seven characters in length and include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Do not use dictionary words either forwards or in reverse, or that include numbers only at the beginning or end.
- Avoid using dictionary words with a common symbol for letter substitutions, for example $ for “s.”
- Never use a payment gateway login ID as part of a password.
