{{tag>Security Account_Security Password_Security }} ====== Password Best Practices for Account Security ====== * Passwords must be a **minimum** of twelve (12) characters in length. Anything less is considered insecure * Ideally make the password at least fifteen (15) characters in length * Do not write down the password where it is easily accessed (such as a sticky note on your monitor) * The password should contain at least one (1) Uppercase letter (A-Z), and a symbol if possible, such as (~`!@#$%^&*()+=_-{}[]\ * **Do not** share the Password with anyone else * Where you need to share your username and password then only do so with trusted individuals * Bear in mind that account security is ultimately your responsibility * Do not make it a memorable word or the same as email/login * Avoid using the same password as you do for other websites * Use a password manager which automatically generates and stores a unique password for each website you use * **SureVoIP will never ask for you for your password.** * If you think your password might be compromised please change it **immediately** and contact SureVoIP Support
