Password & Login Safety Reset - Start the Year Strong
🔐🔑 PASSWORD & LOGIN SAFETY RESET — START THE YEAR STRONG
The new year is the perfect time to refresh your passwords and tighten account security. Many fraud cases start with reused, outdated, or weak passwords. Taking a few minutes now to review your logins can help prevent unauthorized access to your bank accounts and personal information all year long.
💻 COMMON PASSWORD MISTAKES TO AVOID:
Reusing the same password for banking, email, and shopping accounts
Using easy-to-guess passwords like birthdays or names.
Keeping old passwords that haven’t been changed in years.
Ignoring security alerts or login notifications.
Storing passwords in unsecured notes or messages.
🚨 WARNING SIGNS:
Alerts about logins you don’t recognize.
Password reset emails you didn’t request.
Locked accounts or failed login attempts.
Emails or texts claiming your account needs “verification.”
Unusual activity after logging in on a shared or public device.
🛡️ PROTECT YOURSELF:
Use strong, unique passwords for banking and email accounts.
Turn on two-factor authentication wherever available.
Update passwords at least once a year — more often if alerted.
Avoid saving passwords on shared or public devices.
Contact your bank immediately if something doesn’t look right.
🧰 HELPFUL RESOURCES:
📍 IF YOU THINK YOUR PASSWORD WAS COMPROMISED:
Change your password immediately.
Enable two-factor authentication.
Review recent account activity carefully.
Contact your bank if you notice anything unusual.
Monitor accounts closely over the next few weeks.
