Creating a strong and secure password for your account
Using a strong and secure password helps protect your Appfigures account. We recommend a password that's hard to guess and that doesn't contain personal information like your birth date or phone number.
Password requirements:
- At least 8 characters long
- Can't start with a space
Important: We highly recommend using a password manager to generate strong passwords that are hard to guess (and remember) and store them securely.
If you'd rather create your own password, here are a few suggestions and some patterns you should avoid.
Strong password suggestions
- Make your password unique across different services you use
- Make your password very long (16 or more characters) using one of the following:
- A lyric from a song or poem
- A meaningful quote from a movie or speech
- A passage from a book
- A series of words that are meaningful to you
Patterns to avoid
- Names of people who know you
- Personal info & common words
- Your nickname or initials
- The name of your child or pet
- Important birthdays or years
- The name of your street
- Numbers from your address
- Your phone number
- Obvious words and phrases like "password" or "letmein"
- Sequences like "abcd" or "1234"
- Keyboard patterns like "qwerty" or "qazwsx"
