Great Tips from Integrity Computer Consulting
Proper Passwords & Great Keyboard Shortcuts
From Your Friends at Integrity Computer Consulting and Repair
Password Best Practices
To help safeguard your card data and personal information on sites that require a login, we recommend:
- Make sure your password is secure even if the site you're logging into does not require it. We recommend using a combination of upper and lower case letters, with numbers AND special characters, and not using any recognizable words. For example, a password of "Ilovedogsalot" can be made more secure by changing all the vowels to look-alike numbers and special characters, breaking up the actual words into something more secure: !L0v3d0Gs@Lo+
- Use two-step authentication if it is available.
- Get into a habit of changing your password on a schedule (especially if it is a site that houses financial information or credit card numbers), even though it is a pain, we recommend changing passwords every 30-90 days.
- Do not use the same password for every site. Make each password different (even if it is off by one or two characters) and keep a record of it.
- Write your passwords down or consider using a reputable password keeper like LastPass (www.lastpass.com).

Housing News from Our Lending Partners at Idaho Central Credit Union

The median existing-home price was 15% higher than a year ago, also close to record levels. The one drawback was that inventory levels were down 22% from a year ago. The number of homes for sale w...

How Pet Owners Should Prepare for a Showing
Man's best friend does make for a good housemate, but unfortunately, not so much of a great real estate agent. Pets are an interesting element of the real estate process. Many of the buyers attending a showing may love animals and even have pets themselves. However, that doesn't mean that they're crazy about moving into a new home that has lingering traces of cats, dogs, or other animals. There are also those who do not like animals and aren't particularly interested in purchasing a home that once housed pets. If you're a pet owner, our real estate agents suggest these tips on how to prepare for a successful showing:

Economic Information from Our Partners at Idaho Central Credit Union
Job Gains Slow; Manufacturing and Services Remain Strong
Overview: The past week was relatively quiet for mortgage markets. While the key labor market data was a bit weaker than expected, the other major reports were right on target, and they all caused little reaction. Mortgage rates remained near-record-low levels.
