What can I do to keep my Web password and ThriftLine PIN secure?
The Web and ThriftLine have safeguards against a person’s randomly trying to break a password or PIN, but only you can keep your own password and PIN safe. To keep your Web password and ThriftLine PIN secure, memorize them and do not reveal them to anyone. Do not write them down or store them on your computer hard drive, diskette, mobile phone, or any place where others might find them. Do not use your password or PIN when anyone else can see what you are entering. It is best not to use the same password or PIN for access to the TSP and other financial or non-financial services. You should also keep your computer secure by installing anti-spyware software or similar security programs and keeping your protection current. Do not access the TSP or any financial institution from an unprotected computer. If you believe someone else knows your Web password or ThriftLine PIN, change it immediately.
