When you receive your Card PIN, change it immediately.
Never use the following for your PIN:
Your kids’ or loved ones’ date of birth
1234 or 4321, 9876 or 6789 – easy to guess
Digits of your mobile number
Your date of birth or anniversary
First or last 4 digits of your card number
DOs
Be creative and think of a password that is really different as well as difficult to guess.
Mix upper and lowercase letters, and special characters like $, @, *, etc.
Place punctuation or numbers randomly.
Pick letters that are in different places on keyboard. Do not use sequences like ‘qwerty’.
DON’Ts
Don’t use sequences of letters or numbers. E.g.: abcd1234. asdfg123 etc.
Don’t use personal information like your name, date of birth, PAN number, etc.
Avoid using the same password for several different accounts. Once hackers have guessed one password, they’ll often try to see if it works on other accounts.
