It&#8217;s important to use highly secure passwords for all your accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to protect your password?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 7 tips to help you secure your password:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Select a strong password<\/strong><br>Make your password at least 10 characters long. The most secure passwords combine letters, numbers and special characters.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make your password harder to guess<\/strong><br>Avoid using known passwords such as &#8220;P@ssw0rd&#8221; or &#8220;123456&#8221;. Also, avoid using personal information in your password, such as your birthday, child&#8217;s name, phone number, and address.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change your password periodically<\/strong><br>Change your passwords at least once every 6 months. If you notice any suspicious activities on your account, the first thing to do is changing your account&#8217;s password.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sharing is not caring<\/strong><br>Avoid sharing your password with others, even your family members. INVESTBANK will never ask for your password or any other sensitive information.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Never write down your password<\/strong><br>Avoid writing down your password. Instead, memorize your password and PIN or use a password manager application.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a unique password for each account<\/strong><br>Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts or websites; If attackers steal your account information from one site, all your other accounts will be at risk.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use multi-factor authentication (MFA)<\/strong><br>Activate multi-factor authentication whenever available. MFA requires both a password and a one-time code generated by an app or sent to your phone number. iBank provides MFA to secure your financial transactions and protect your accounts if criminals capture your password.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For any inquiries, please call our Contact Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":242702,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[32],"class_list":["post-244005","cybersecurity","type-cybersecurity","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity-article","tag-article"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investbank.jo\/api-secure\/wp\/v2\/cybersecurity\/244005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investbank.jo\/api-secure\/wp\/v2\/cybersecurity"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investbank.jo\/api-secure\/wp\/v2\/types\/cybersecurity"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investbank.jo\/api-secure\/wp\/v2\/media\/242702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investbank.jo\/api-secure\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investbank.jo\/api-secure\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investbank.jo\/api-secure\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
