 New Rules for SiteVision Email!
New Rules for SiteVision Email!
To comply with Anti-Spam regulations and standards:
As of April 16, new passwords must: be at least 8 characters long and contain a capital letter, lower case letter, and number.
By now, you are surely aware of our new email account requirements, limits and password requirements. It’s become a really critical issue for you and for all of us in the digital world.
In an internal review, we have discovered that most of your SiteVision email passwords could be easily hacked using a standard desktop computer.
Since nonsensical passwords can be difficult to remember, consider using a pass-phrase that reminds you of something, or is familiar. Examples: iLuv2shop, d0n’tskipLunch, meetMyQu0ta, and so forth.

Helpful Email Tips
Use Unique Passwords for Your Important Accounts. Never use the same passwords for your important banking, stock, healthcare and personal information accounts. Hackers test stolen passwords and user-names from a particular site across many Internet sites, meaning your identity and banking and stock resources could be severely compromised with single use passwords. Give each of these account types a unique password!
Keep your password reminders in a Safe Place. Most of us couldn’t’t possibly remember all of our passwords to all of the sites we commonly use. So, if you decide to save your passwords, don’t leave notes with your passwords lying around in plain sight. If you save your passwords in a file, create a unique name for the file, so that people don’t know what’s inside. Avoid giving the file an obvious name, such as “my passwords.”
