Password Security

Why Secure Passwords MatterPasswords protect everything

about you online. Once those

passwords are discovered and

used by someone else you can

have a huge problem on your

hands. Problems could be anything

from identity theft to stolen money

from your bank account. That is

why you should make your

passwords as protected as possible

in order to make it harder for any

of those things to happen to you.

birthdate in your password
