Do passwords keep me safe?

When you register at websites, they will often ask you to choose a password, so that only you can access your personal information when you return.

When you choose a password, it is a good idea to pick one that has a mix of numbers and letters, or that can't be easily guessed by someone you know.

Make sure you keep it a complete secret! No bank or respectable online service will ever ask you for your passwords, even by e-mail, and if they do it is likely to be someone trying to trick you into giving them your personal information. BE WARNED and stay SMART!
