Hey, let me invite you to think about that old conventional wisdom about changing your password regularly. I challenge that bit of thinking. Why?

1) Use smart and safe practices every day. Keep your computer safe with anti-spyware, anti-virus and firewalls.

2) Don’t ever write your password down and store it near your computer!

3) Don’t log on to secure sites from anybody else’s computer.

4) Don’t click links in email that invite you to take action, like changing a password.

5) Keep a general login password on your computer so it is secure if someone steals it.

6) Don’t tell anybody your password or let anybody use your account.

7) Log out when you are done.

So why should you NOT follow old advice and change your PW regularly?

1) Do all those things and nobody will ever get your password! It won’t be necessary. BUT -

2) If you are sloppy on any of those, then changing your PW once a month won’t do a darned thing. Somebody can get it before the 30 days are up!

Challenge all old “conventional wisdom” when it comes to eBay. I’m serious. I’ve been doing this for 9 years now.
