Strengthen Your 4-Digit Security Code
When updating your security code, avoid using sequential or repeating numbers, or information on public record, like birthdays or your SSN. You can also add a security code reminder as a helpful tip when verification occurs.
Example:
4-Digit Security Code: 3790
