How to create secure passwords for cashless transactions this Christmas

As we move deeper
into the era of cashless shopping, it is important you protect your password to
safeguard your online transactions. Here are a few ways to do that;
 
 
Do not use your
birth date as your password: For many people, your birth date is the easy
number to remember. So it is your first resort in choosing a password for an
online account or PIN for you card. Avoid
the temptation
. It is easy for a fraudster to find out about your birth
date either from an official document that may have been misplaced with your
card, or from any of your online profiles on facebook, twitter, Linkedin or any
other social networking site.
Do not use the
birth date of your wife or children. That could also be easily picked up by a
fraudster from an online profile or from close family members.
Do not also use the
name of favourite pets, wedding days, parents or street house addresses as your
password as these could easily be guessed at by fraudster intent on breaking
into your account.

 

Do not use one
password on several accounts. If you do, a fraudster can attack all your
accounts with just a single stolen password.
Try and change your
password as soon as you suspect it has been compromised and even when it has
not been compromised, do change it at least once a month.
 
Ensure that the
password you use for your banking transactions is not used for any non-banking
transaction. For example, do not use the same password to log into your face
book account and your online banking account.
 
Tips on creating a great
password
Research
has shown that a good password is a phrase or combination of characters or
numbers that has little or no connection with the person picking it.
 
 
If
you are allowed to use special characters in a password try to use them.
  Do not share your password. Let it be the ONE secret you are able to keep.
 
Do not ever write down your password and if it
is so complicated that you decide to write it down, keep it as far away and
secure from your card as much as possible.
 
How UBA secures your card and
online transactions
UBA
always provide a second layer of security for your online transactions. When
registering for online transactions, UBA demands that you pick and answer five
secret different questions, for which, only you are likely to know the answers.
These questions are usually used as a second level security for your online
transactions. Even if a fraudster has your password, it is very unlikely; he or
she will be able to answer the security questions.
 
 
UBA
also ensures that all online transactions are authenticated with a token sent
directly to your e-mail box or obtained physically. Tokens are special security
codes used to authenticate online transactions.
 All UBA customers can pick up a physical token
from a UBA business office. With a physical token, it is almost impossible for a
fraudster to illegally transfer funds from your account.
 
There
are also limits placed on the amount of funds you can transfer online. This is
to ensure that even if a fraudster is so smart to break down all the security
walls and get into your account, there is a limit on the amount that he or she
can illegally transfer.
 
UBA
also has in place a highly secured IT security network monitoring online
transactions 24 hours , seven days a week to ensure that any unusual activity
on your account is quickly picked up.

  2. Many people use the same password for everything. Because they would have trouble remembering numerous passwords. So, I’ll suggest them Random Password. If you use the same password for everything and a thief gets hold of it. Don’t use same password for all accounts.
