How to secure your account ?
Use secure passwords

- Generally, a password that utilizes at least eight characters, which includes alphanumeric and grammatical symbols, is sufficient.
- Never use passwords that are based on dictionary words or significant dates.
- If a password can be broken in a few hours, then it is probably too insecure and should not be used.
- Never use a password that you are using for other account(s) also.
