Yesterday was the last day of cyber month and to close, we’d like to provide our top 3 tips for password security.

1.  Make sure your password is at least
8 characters long and includes a
mix of capital letters, numbers and
symbols .
 Example, you could intentionally
misspell a word - MapelLeafs81 or
trade certain letters for numbers of
symbols - M@pleLeaf$81.
 You could even use the first letters
of a phrase - “I love the Toronto
Maple Leafs, go number 81” would
become “iltTMLgn81”.
Tip #1 for password security
Use a (seemingly) complicated password

2. Tip # 2 for password security
 Don’t use names of spouses, children or pets.
 Don’t use phone numbers or birth dates. Don’t
use the same word as your login (often your
name or email).
 Don’t use consecutive, duplicate numbers or any
other simple keyboard pattern. “Password” –
it is consistently one of the most common
passwords used and therefore, one of the
easiest to crack.
Know what makes a bad password or what NOT to do

3. Tip # 3 for password security
Change your passwords regularly.
Change your password every 90
days…that is only four times a year.
