May 6 was World Password Day (the first Thursday of May). Password security should be an everyday concern. Practice these tips to keep your devices and data secure:

• Review old passwords and strengthen them with numerals and special characters (@#&*).
• Use longer passwords–more than 10 characters.
• Store passwords in other places besides your phone or computer.
• Use two-factor authentication whenever it’s available.
• Don’t use the same password for multiple programs, devices, or applications.
• Always log off programs when you’re done with them.
• Use complex passwords that don’t include complete words or names (“j@m3s” instead of “james”).
• Routinely remove temporary internet files.
• On important accounts, consider changing your password every 60-90 days.
• If you write down a password, never store it close to the device you use it on.
• Don’t forget to password-protect your wireless router.
