Protect your personal information well

21 August 2014

It is important that your personal information is secure. That's why we have high standards for our systems and are constantly working to protect them from threats.

You also play an important role in keeping your personal information secure.

Provide a strong password that is difficult for others to guess:

The password does not contain easy-to-guess words, such as your first name, last name, or your partner's name;

The password contains at least 8 characters;

The password contains not only letters (a-z), but also numbers (0-9) and special characters (~!@#$).

Furthermore, it is important that your password is secret and remains secret. So do not write the password down and do not save passwords on the computer in for example a text file containing the word 'password'. It is also wise to change your password regularly.

You can change your password after logging in. Do you log in with DigiD? Then check the website of DigiD for more information about the security of logging in with DigiD.
