Creating strong password

Last updated : 09 Jan 2024

When it comes to safeguarding your Hekaya account, here are some guidelines for creating a strong and secure password:

Do:

  • Length Matters: Use a password with at least 8 characters. Longer passwords are generally more secure.
  • Mix It Up: Create a password that includes a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters (like #, $, or !).
  • Uniqueness is Key: Ensure that your password is distinct from the passwords you use for other websites, such as your email, bank accounts, or social media. This way, any security issues on those sites won't affect your Hekaya account.
  • Get Creative: Consider forming a unique phrase by combining words and symbols.

 

Don't: 

  • Avoid Common Words: Refrain from using common, easily guessable words. 
  • Skip Word-Digit Combinations: Avoid using simple combinations of words and digits.  

 

Tip: Remember, the longer your password, the more challenging it becomes for unauthorized individuals to guess it.
