A few notes on creating secure passwords:

  • Your password should contain capital and lower case letters, special characters and numbers.
  • Do not use “Keyboard Sequences” in your password e.g. 753, 123, qaz, qwerty or rgn
  • Do not use common words or names in your password – even your pet’s name is not advisable to use.
  • If you would like to check how secure your password is, pop along to this website (https://howsecureismypassword.net). This site will tell you how long it will take a hacker on a normal pc to crack your password, you are aiming for a score of a few million years not a few days. You may feel that there isn’t a chance that anyone will know you exist, or that your username is secure, however spammers and other hackers are constantly on the look-out for passwords to crack to gain access to your information.
  • We suggest you use a password manager to keep track of your passwords and access codes. We recommend Password Keeper which can be found on your mobile app store or on the net.
