Your security is a key part of your investment experience.A strong password is your first line of defense to protect your account and personal information.
Why is it important to have a strong password?
Passwords are like digital keys. If they’re weak, predictable, or reused, they can allow unauthorized access to your accounts.
Using a strong password helps prevent fraud, identity theft, and the risk of having your personal information stolen.
Tips to create a strong password
Follow these best practices to keep your password secure:
Make it long: Your password should be at least 12 characters.
Use different elements: Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Avoid personal information: Don’t include names, birthdates, or common words.
Use unique and easy-to-remember phrases: A random mix of unrelated words can be strong and memorable.
Example: Sol@Piano-27!Lluvia
Don’t reuse passwords: Each account should have a different password.
Use a password manager: These tools help you generate and store secure passwords safely.
How often should I change my password?
It’s recommended to update your password every 3 to 6 months.
Also update it immediately if:
You notice any suspicious activity.
You’ve used the same password on other platforms.
You’ve accidentally shared your password.
Enable 2FA for an added layer of protection. It ensures that even if someone has your password, they won’t be able to access your account without a second verification step.
Additional recommendations
Never share your passwords with anyone.
Avoid entering your credentials on suspicious links or unverified sites.
Use secure networks when logging into your account (avoid public Wi-Fi when possible).
