Pa$$word?

Passwords can be difficult to remember when you have to keep track of so many.  But keeping them fresh and updated is a necessity in today's world.  Here's some tips on how to keep your information safe and accessible

• Choose something familiar, but not so easy that someone could guess.  
  
• Swap out characters for letters.  
  
• When you change your password make it completely fresh.  Don't just change one thing.
  
• Caps count.  Instead of using them only in the beginning, try using them within your password.
  
• Use a foreign language!  
  

Fake ID - Use caution when setting up a new account.  Often the site will ask you for personal information in order to verify your identity.  Consider using a "fake id" to protect your information.  

DO NOT write this down on a piece of paper!  Instead, keep your information safe by keeping your passwords electronically.  

• Evernote.com -allows you to make notes and a whole lot more.  Track recipes, create reminders and of course store your passwords.
