Change Your Passcode When You Change Your Clock

In addition to adjusting your clocks for Daylight Savings Time (if you still have clocks you have to do that with), this time of year is also when you are reminded to change other things. Some people will use this as a reminder to change their batteries in their smoke detectors, wiper blades on their car and other items. Some experts recommend changing your passcode every 90 days for your key sites (e.g. financial services, medial sites, etc.).

There are some free passcode managers (e.g. Password Safe, KeePass, etc.) that can assist you in keeping your passcodes complex and safe by storing them locally on your computer. For some other quick tips on protecting your identity, check out this article from one of the world’s most famous hackers, Kevin Mitnick,  http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/tips/24682_how_to_protect_your_privacy_against_hackers/
