Helpful tips

We do everything we can to keep hackers from accessing your account. To create a strong password to protect yourself even more, you should:

  • Create a longer password to make it harder to hack.
  • Steer clear of common words that could be easy to guess.
  • Stay away from obvious series like 123456, abcdef, or qwerty.
  • Avoid using secure info, or personal details that are easy to find on the internet (for example, your name, Social Security number, date of birth, or pet’s name)
