To enhance your online safety and keep your personal information safe, follow these recommendations: (a) do not reveal your password to anyone and keep it protected at all times; (b) change your password periodically; and (c) create passwords that are at least 8 characters in length and a combination of lower case and capitalized letters, numbers and symbols.
