Your Username is the key to your online identity, so it’s just as important to create a strong Username as it is a strong Password. To ensure you are following good security practices, please take a moment to review the tips below.
Tips on Creating a Strong Username
- Use uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and special characters in non-obvious arrangements
- Create a Username that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for someone else to guess.
- Using different Usernames for individual accounts makes it harder accessing information for hackers
- Never use a Social Security number as a Username. Social security numbers may be hard to guess and easy to remember, but they could give malicious hackers a coveted piece of personal information that can be exploited
- Never disclose your Username to others or store your Username on paper or in an unencrypted computer file
- Never provide your Online Banking credentials when requested through email. Bellco will never ask you to supply your personal information
