Keep Your Advanz Online Banking Login Secure
We're guessing you've shared a password or two with friends and family for streaming services or subscriptions. But if you're sharing your online banking login information, it can really be putting your financial accounts at risk.
When you share your online banking login information with someone, you're no longer in control. Even if you trust your friends or family, they could be hacked or expose your login information.
In general, it's best not to share any passwords for any service, if at all avoidable. If one account is compromised, any other accounts with which that username/password combination has been used will likely be affected as well.
Here are some password best practices:
- Use different passwords for every site/service where security is important (like banking).
- Keep passwords unique - the more characters, the better!
- Change your passwords when a relationship ends. While breakups mean other things are on your mind, it's important to take steps to protect your privacy if you still have access to shared accounts.
- Enroll in two-factor authentication when an option.
- Use a secure online password manager, like LastPass.
