It seems there is a password for EVERYTHING these days. So, it’s easy to get lazy… after all, you want to be able to remember them!
However, Fraud Expert Phil Swan says passwords are one of your best prevention tools and should be changed AT LEAST 3-4 times each year. Additionally, if the platform allows you to have a 2-step verification, utilize that as well.
“Passwords should be treated like underwear: change them often, keep them private and never share them with anyone.”
A strong passwords is one of the easiest ways to prevent fraud!
