What's Your Password?

Thought I would share some good points about passwords that help make them harder for identity thieves to figure out. It is time to stop using your pet's name - that is just too easy.

Lengthy - a good password is at least eight characters, longer if possible.

Multiple-Characters - be sure to include letters both upper and lower case, numbers, symbols and punctuation.

Don't forget it- to help with remembering, come up with an acronym for your password - Dinner at Amy's on Oct 25th. would be D@A's1025

Until next time,

I found this article in the Oct 2009 issue of Real Simple. Great tips on working from home and how to make the most of it. Here are the highlights and a link for the entire article.

1. Figure out if it's right for you.
2. Set up an ideal office layout.
3. Schedule your day.
4. Minimize "time sucks" - dare I say - even Facebook
5. Stay connected.

Hope your day is productive!
