Why Am I Being Asked to Update My Password?

Providing our customers with a safe and secure shopping experience is very important to us. We know that many customers re-use their passwords across multiple websites, and if any of those sites are compromised, it can put your online security at risk. That's why it's a good idea to select strong, unique passwords and change them regularly.
