Security Best Practices

  • Use a unique password – Don’t reuse passwords from other accounts
  • Keep codes private – Never share your verification code with anyone
  • Act promptly – Complete the reset process soon after receiving the code
  • Report suspicious activity – If you didn’t request a reset, contact support immediately
  • Use a password manager – Consider using one to generate and store strong passwords
  • Enable two-factor authentication – Add your cell phone in your profile settings for extra security
