Password Protection Tips

Do's


  • Use a password that contains uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Longer passwords tend to provide heightened security against various hacking methods.
  • Make your passwords difficult to guess by avoiding obvious choices such as the name of a family member, pet, birthday, or a favorite hobby.
  • Change your password regularly and make your new passwords significantly different from previous passwords.
  • Use a different password for your HelmInOne login than for your other online accounts.


Don'ts

 
  • Don’t use a single word that can be found in a dictionary. Example: turtle, basketball, purple.
  • Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts.
  • Don’t write your password down where others can see or access it.

Additional Authentication Methods


Security Codes

  • Security codes provide an extra layer of protection by requiring a unique, time-sensitive code in addition to your password.
  • These codes are sent to your registered email or generated by our HelmInOne Mobile app.
  • Always ensure your contact information is up-to-date to receive these codes promptly.




Biometric Authentication

  • Biometric authentication uses unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to verify your identity.
  • It is a highly secure method since biometric data is difficult to replicate.
  • Enable biometric authentication on your HelmInOne Mobile app for added security and convenience.


General Security Practices



  • Regularly review your account statements and transactions for any unauthorized activity. Report any discrepancies to your bank immediately.
  • Ensure you're using a secure and encrypted connection when accessing your accounts online. Look for "https://" in the URL and a padlock icon in the address bar.
  • Be cautious of unsolicited emails, calls, or texts asking for personal or financial information, and avoid clicking on links in emails or texts unless their authenticity is confirmed. Never disclose your usernames or passwords outside secure platforms like the HelmInOne Mobile® app or Online Banking.


By implementing these security measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your accounts and protect your personal and financial information.
