2. Aeroplan requires at least eight letters in a password and recommends using special characters such as £~!*%?><% but doesn’t require these.

3. Use two or more numbers or special characters. Add these at the beginning or end of the sentence or phrase or in the middle if you can remember their placement.

4. Use a brief complete sentence you can remember, and leave out the spaces between words.

5. Use the first letter of each word of a longer sentence.

5. Change your password regularly. Every three or six months is a good practice.

7. Keep it relatively simple. If you have to write down your password, you lose a lot of your security.

It is recommended that you change your periodically, they don’t protect you from keyloggers on your computer or people who peek over your shoulder as you type your password. Add two-step verification, run anti-virus software regularly, and be aware of your surroundings when accessing your Aeroplan with a public device.
