Use strong passwords  

 

Passwords are classed as being weak or strong based on how difficult they are for fraudsters to guess. Passwords protect your personal information from criminals so make sure your password is a strong one.

Here are some ideas for strong passwords:

  • Use both upper and lower case letters
  • Use at least one number
  • Do not begin or end the password with a number
  • Make the password at least eight characters

Don't use passwords like:

  • Admin
  • 123456
  • A Personal Name
  • The word "Password"
  • Your Pet's Name
  • Date of birth, Marriage etc

With identity theft growing at an alarming rate make sure to us strong passwords in the future and it is a wise idea to change your current passwords too.

Don't lose your bookmarks  

 

I recently had a few problems with my computer and realised it had been quite a while since I backed up my bookmarks. It got me thinking, we have a tendency to back up our documents, movies, photos etc, but forget all about the bookmarks we have. I myself would be lost without them. So, here are 2 ways to make sure all your bookmarks are safe.

Back up your bookmarks

Every time you run a backup make sure to backup your bookmarks (favourites). It is easy to do, you simply export your bookmarks and here is how to do it:

Firefox

  • Click on the Bookmarks menu
  • Then select Organise Bookmarks
  • Select the folder/folders you wish to save (if all bookmarks select just Bookmarks)
  • Select Export from the File Menu
  • Browse for the location and folder you wish to save to.
  • Then click Save

Internet Explorer

  • Click on the File menu
  • If you cannot see the File menu select the Tools menu and then click on Menu Bar
  • Now select Import and Export
  • Click next and select Export Favourites
  • Select the folder/folders you wish to save (if all favourites select just Favourites)
  • Click next and then browse for the location and folder you wish to save to.
  • Then click next and finish to save the file.


Store your bookmarks online

There are many sites now a days where you can now store your bookmarks. One of them is site called del.icio.us, a social bookmarking website which allows you to store your bookmarks online. You can access and add new ones from any computer anywhere in the world that has internet access. You can also share your favorites with friends, family or the del.icio.us community.

Others include:

Google Bookmarks - With Google bookmarks you can create bookmarks in their new version of the Google Toolbar for IE, or at http://www.google.com/bookmarks. You can then access your bookmarks from any computer by simply signing in to your Google Account.

Spurl - Is a online bookmarking service and search engine. Again allowing you to store and access your bookmarks from anywhere.

Furl - This is a great bookmarking site, it is a little different from the rest as when you save a page with Furl it is downloaded and saved to your own personal archive forever. Even if the source website has been inactive for years you can still see the page you saved, instead of page not found.

There are many many more, so have a look around and see which one you find the best.
