Keeping Your Account Secure

Letterly Password Requirements:

• Length: Your password must be between 8 and 128 characters.

• Characters: Include at least:
  • 1 capital letter (e.g., A, B, C)
  • 1 lowercase letter (e.g., a, b, c)
  • 1 number (e.g., 1, 2, 3)
  • 1 special character (e.g., !, @, #, $)
  • No spaces are allowed in your password.

• Passwords must match exactly when entered.

Tips for Creating Strong and Memorable Passwords:

• Use a phrase that’s meaningful to you and easy to remember, such as "MyCatL0ves@Fish!" (combining uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters).
• Avoid predictable passwords like "Password123!" or "1234@abcd." Hackers commonly guess these.
• Use a mix of unrelated words and characters, like "Sun$OceanR1ver."
• Don’t reuse passwords across multiple accounts. Every account should have a unique password.
• Consider using a password manager to securely store and generate strong passwords.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid:

• Don’t use personal information like your name, birthday, or address in your password.
• Avoid simple patterns, such as "abcd1234!" or 1111@aaaa.
• Don’t share your password with anyone or write it down where others might find it.
• Be cautious when typing your password in public spaces to prevent others from seeing it.

Testing Your Password:

• Double-check your password to ensure it meets the requirements and matches exactly when entered. If in doubt, try typing it into a secure note or text editor to verify it looks correct before entering it on the website.

By following these tips, you'll create a strong, secure password that keeps your account safe while meeting Letterly's security standards.
