Safety

©igma helps you stay safe and secure

Safety is the condition of being protected against harmful conditions or events, or the control of hazards to reduce risk.

Advice for the insecure - safe enough is good enough

             

Password Security

Please be aware that absolute security is not possible.

However, safe enough is good enough.

   

It’s easier than you think to create strong, hard-to-guess, easy-to-remember passwords.

DOs

Use a password phrase and make it relevant. If you’re joining a crossword site, think "knot my pencil" and write it something like this: |<n0tmyP3n$il

Make it something you can visualize. It’s easier to remember that way

Make it more than 10 characters and include capitals, numbers and symbols

The more personal the better. For a clothing retail site think "mY5orit3$hirt’sR3d" (my favorite shirt is red)

DON'Ts

Use names: pets, businesses, family, friends, etc.

Use letter or number patterns: 1234, abcd, etc.

Use birthdays, addresses, postal or zip codes, even if you add a number or symbol

Use less than 10 characters

Store them locally or on the Internet
