Your online password protects your personal information. That's why it's important to choose a strong password using the tips below, keep it confidential and update it periodically.

How to Choose Your Password

• Your Web Branch password must be 6-32 characters in length. We recommend selecting an 8-digit or longer password for greater security.
• Choose a mixture of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters (@, %, $, #, &, etc.)
• Use capital letters sporadically.
• Think of a mnemonic device to remember your unique password. See example below.
• Change your password frequently.

What NOT to Use

• Don't choose the name of a child, spouse, pet or other familiar person.
