Keep private information private

Completed

Someone can use your private information to open your accounts, find you, take your money, or pretend to be you. Don't type, upload, or paste:

  • Passwords, passcodes, or security answers
  • Your full home address or exact location
  • Private health, school, benefit, or workplace information
  • Bank, credit card, payment, or benefits information
  • A Social Security number or other government identification number
  • Photos of identification cards, checks, bills, medical forms, or account statements
  • Private photos, messages, or information about someone else

Important

Don't share a one-time security code with anyone. A real company or government agency never needs the code they send to your phone or email.
