Be Sure Your Home Computer Is Password Protected
However, one should keep passwords on their home computer as well, and keep them separate from those at their workplace. Should someone access your home computer without consent, they would have access to your email, bank accounts and possible more information. It doesn't have to be done by a thief breaking into your home. It can be done by a small child playing with the computer who "accidently" places a bid on your ebay account to a babysitter or friends of your child who are visiting.
I once experienced a family member (young adult with issues) who got into my computer and sent out nasty emails from our account to others, made bids on our ebay account, sent money bill pay and got into our paypal.
A simple action of having a password would have prevented it all.
