If you’ve ever had an online account hacked, you know how important it is to have secure and regularly updated passwords. Passwords like “ABC123” don’t exactly work anymore with how sophisticated computer experts are these days. With every virtual account you open, you want to ensure that you’ve created a strong and complex password to ward off fraudsters from accessing your personal information and home network.
We recommend updating your WiFi password at least once every 3-6 months with a mix of 8+ letters and numbers to protect your network. It may seem like overkill, but all it takes is one sneaky hacker to steal your private information and access to your connected devices.
Thankfully, with GVTC Premium WiFi, you now have the capability to update your WiFi password frequently for your home’s security and peace of mind.
