Password and Username Suggestions

I've seen a lot of hacking into accounts nowadays. Its wrong and quite terrible!

That's why I have some password hints.

1. Change your password monthly. If you change your password a lot, it will be harder for a scammer or hacker to get into your account.

2. Have different passwords for different web site accounts. For instance, if you have a Webkinz and E-mail account, have a different password for each. Because if a scammer gets just one password, they will try to use it on all of your accounts, and if it works, they will be able to take controll of all of your accounts! (Like, email your friends a mean message, bad pictures, ect.)

2A. Build onto a password. One password for a site, like Webkinz, could be catlover. To help your memory, you could have a password like 56catloverbiz on another site, like CP.

2B. Passwords you should NEVER have. These are some passwords you shouldn't do: "password", your birthday, your real name, a name of your Webkinz pet, or your hometown.

3. Have different usernames for different web site accounts. Number two can happen if all of your accounts have the same username. For instance, if your webkinz account is I-LIKE-@@PIE&CHESS1010, and your email is ozz @ something.biz, the hacker cannot get into all accounts.
