Passwords
---------
Below are some tips to help you make your passwords more secure
Your passwords should be no less than 5 characters if possible.
Your passwords should contain an uppercase character.
Your passwords should contain a lowercase character.
Your passwords should contain a number.
Your passwords should contain an alphanumeric if possible (i.e. *, #, $, !, etc)
You should have different passwords for each of the following. They should
NEVER be the same.
Admin
DB
Personal site user account
FTP and/or site management
User account on other sites
Using the same password on other sites should NEVER be done. The reason is now
that site has your username and password. Though the password is encrypted it
can be decrypted with some work. So now they have that password and guess what
a hacker might do with it!
Remember that different may not mean a whole new password but maybe a couple
of changes to it.
For example Mypass#1 is a good password you can change it a number of different
ways.
MYPasS#1
MyP8ss#1!
myPASS#!
MyPa$$#1
You should change at least 3 of the characters though.
Sentinel
--------
Do NOT turn off any of the blockers. You can turn them down but you should
never turn one all the way off!
You should leave IP Tracking on but you can turn the length up or down
For more information of features see Raven's site.
