Be sure to communicate the changes to the User in a secure manner.<\/p>\n<p>Always verify the identity of the caller and note that it is better to send a new password via the user\u2019s email address.<\/p>\n<p>For security reasons the login ID and password should be sent in separate emails. References to the words \u201cpassword\u201d or \u201clog-in id\u201d should not be contained in the email subject line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Understanding Password Security<\/h4>\n<p>Choosing Your Password<\/p>\n<p>When choosing a password, remember that your password is case-sensitive. For example, ABCDEF is not the same as abcdef.

For extra security include a mix of uppercase and lowercase characters.<\/li>\n<li>Passwords should not be a word or words found in the dictionary.<\/li>\n<li>Passwords should not be recycled (used again and again).<\/li>\n<li>Passwords should not be based on personal information such as the names of relatives, birthdays, or anniversaries.<\/li>\n<li>Passwords should not be recorded in any medium that is not protected by either a password or by encryption.<\/li>\n<li>Passwords should be changed at regular intervals.<\/li>\n<li>Passwords should not be shared with anyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE!
