Can a bad password ruin your financial goals?

Trying to track all of our passwords in daily life can be a challenge. Without a solid system, it’s a little like trying to remember three different errands that your spouse just asked you to run while two people are simultaneously speaking to you and asking you to remember something new.

Unless we have a secure system, we are in danger of either forgetting the passwords or making them all similar or scribbling them down in a panic on the spur of the moment. All of these responses can increase the threat of identity theft.

In this video, we cover choosing strong passwords, securing home internet, and password management tools. Though each of the items that we cover is important information, you need to take the steps necessary to protect your online identity.

What next steps will you take today?
