We recommend changing your passwords around at least every few months. Try not to use personal data such as DOB, try to use different passwords for each account and get creative! Swap letters for numbers, use capitals and break things up with the odd ? or *. We also recommend you always log out of websites rather than just close the page down. It's better to be safe than sorry!
