10 Ways to Prevent Identity Theft

Difficult Passwords

Many of us consider creating passwords a big hassle. Those lengthy instructions forcing you to ask questions, or add numbers and characters are quite annoying. But, the tougher your online passwords, the harder they are to crack.

Identity thieves make a living trying to figure out online passwords. If your password is your name, followed by DOB, it isn’t going to be that difficult to steal your information. Even if they are hard for you to remember, it is better than leaving an open trail for the wrong people to have access to your online accounts.
