Do I need to log out of the Account Center?

Yes, log out by clicking the "Account Center Log Out" link at the top of the page. You'll see a new page confirming that you've logged out.

If you don't log out, others using the same computer could potentially access information saved or cached in the memory of the browser. As an extra precaution, close your browser's window before leaving the computer.

What should I use for my Account Center password?

A good password is easy for you to remember-but hard for somebody else to guess. Avoid using passwords that others might guess, such as a birth date, Social Security number, or pet's name.

Select passwords you'll remember, but try replacing some of the letters with numbers—"secret" might be "s1cr1t," for example.

And mix up your passwords—use different passwords at different Web sites.
