To help make your account more secure, create a password that is easy to remember but hard for someone else to guess. Use two-factor authentication and keep an eye on your sign-in notifications.
How to create a secure password
To help you create a secure password, here are some password best practices:
Do use
- At least eight Characters, but the longer the better
- A mix of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols
Don't use
- Your username
- A previous password or password used on another site
- Consecutive keyboard combinations such as "qwerty" or "asdfg"
- A complete dictionary word or obvious combinations of dictionary words
- Slang terms, common misspellings, or words spelled backward
- Names such as your company name or names of spouses, kids, other relatives, or pets
- Personal information such as your age or birth date
