Our professional photographer & videographer David White actually used to work at the Apple genius bar, and our agent Danielle Powers worked for USB securities, so both have backgrounds for security awareness!  David explains how important passwords are to keeping your accounts secure. When creating passwords, many times websites will offer an auto-generated password. Many times these auto-generated passwords are extremely hard to remember. However, when using the key change function, it allows your computer or phone to remember these passwords. The key change function utilizes either your thumbprint or face ID as a form of security.               


Another important factor to keep in mind when creating passwords is not using significant numbers such as your birthday and anniversary or using names that are easily traced back to you. These are relatively easy for possible hackers to guess.
