🔐 Tech Tip of the Day
Passwords are getting easier to crack — don’t make it easy for hackers!

There are two kinds of passwords:
✅ Simple (easy to guess)
✅ Complex (harder to crack)

💡 The more complex your password, the longer it takes to break. So make it strong:
➡️ Use uppercase + lowercase letters
➡️ Add numbers & special symbols
➡️ Make it longer than 12 characters

📣 Share this tip with your family and friends — together we can bridge the digital divide and stay cyber safe!

🇺🇸 Today is not about technology.
It’s about courage, sacrifice, and service.
To all the brave men and women who have served—thank you.

We honor you.
Happy Veterans Day.

🚀 Connect45: A Smarter Way to Save!

💸 That’s real money back in your pocket—every single month.
