Passwords are the easiest way for cybercriminals to steal data and compromise our HM patient data and systems. You only need to change your HM password every 365 days but when you do, use a strong passphrase or sequence of words with at least 15 characters, including letters, numbers and symbols, and don’t reuse your same passwords at work and at home.
