Better Security & Stronger Passwords

No security measures are 100% effective against all kinds of attacks, but there are various steps you can take to greatly improve your security. Experts generally advise not to write or print passwords on paper that is stored insecurely; not to use the same password on more than one website; not to reveal your passwords to anyone else; to change passwords regularly (for example, every 30, 45, or 60 days); and to use “strong” passwords.

A strong Web password is generally considered to have the following attributes:

Length of seven or eight characters minimum if the following attribute is also met

Consists of a random mixture of numbers, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters. Special characters are symbols and punctuation marks. Not all websites allow all special characters.

The following types of Web passwords are not considered to be strong:

Real names or words (even if they are obscure or from a foreign language)

Real words spelled backwards

Doubled up words (i.e., the same word written twice, or two different words put together, to make a new word)

Real words with a single number, letter, or special character added at the beginning or end

Real words with the vowels or consonants removed

Real words in all uppercase letters

Real words with the characters shifted (a becomes b, b becomes c, etc.)

Keyboard layout sequences (such as "QWERTY")

Calendar dates

Passwords derived from passphrases that are common sentences/expressions

Fortunately, since you have a Logio, you do not need to use easy-to-remember passwords or the same password on more than one website but instead can use multiple random passwords. If you currently have weak passwords for any websites, now is a great opportunity to change them.
