Evolution of Fraud

[Sandy VDH]

I have a completely different user ID and PW for each financial site. They are not the same as each other, and they are completely different than my run of the mill ID and PWs that I have variations for on other sites.

VPE is a website used by Marriott owners to rent out Club Points.

well I don't own Marriott, that is why I had no idea what it stood for. But I was interested in trying to figure out what the fraud situations was.

Well, if you have valuables in all the other locked rooms, then all they can do is roam the hallways. I agree it's not a perfect analogy, but the point is still valid. Don't use the same password for multiple sites.

Oh I didn't catch you meant interior doors to rooms. We don't have any such doors and I've never seen them in a home.

Our credit union makes us change our passwords every month.

How about this? Forget remembering passwords, password managers.
Just use the "forgot password" option and change your password each time you need to access the respective application / website.
