Do you keep a login and password written down on a Post-it or piece of paper near your desk?


  • If so, you should get rid of it by following your company's sensitive document disposal policy.
  • If your company does not have such a policy, you should use a paper shredder to dispose of the Post-it. Do not simply place the Post-it in the trash.
  • While it may be tough to remember a login and password for all of the sites and portals you belong to, writing the passwords down on a piece of paper, or keeping them in an unsecured document on your computer, is a bad habit to have.
  • This can put you and your entire company at risk.
  • Try to use passwords that are easy for you to remember, but hard for others to guess.
