The stronger your password,
the harder it will be for others
to guess. Here are some tips
for creating a strong
password:
➜ Don't use single words
that you can find in the
dictionary. Instead,
merge two or more
words together.
➜
Use a combination of
uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, and
numbers.
➜
Don't choose words or
numbers that might be
easy for a stranger to
guess.
➜ Don't use your birth
date, your spouse's
name, your phone
number, or other similar
words or numbers.
➜ Don’t write your
password on anything.
If you do write your
password somewhere,
be sure to put it in a safe
place.
Tip
Choose a New Member Password
To protect your privacy, you need to choose a new secret
password. A password ensures that only authorized users can
use your Appliance to check e-mail and send instant
messages.
When you have confirmed your new secret password, press
the
continue button.
