A strong password is essential to protect your investments and personal data on Arkefi from being accessed by anyone but you. To protect your account, a strong and secure password should be:
- A minimum of 12 characters
- A combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
- Not a dictionary word or the name of a person, character, product, or organization
- Significantly different from passwords used in your other online accounts, such as email
- Easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess
- Not a common word and patterns like “abcdef”, “123456”, “password”
To maintain the security of your account, follow these best practices:
- Under no circumstances should you share your password, not even with friends or family members
- Avoid sending passwords via email, instant messaging, or any insecure means of communication
- Use a unique password for each website. This prevents malicious actors from exploiting your credentials on other platforms in the event of a security breach
- If you choose to write down your passwords, ensure they are stored securely. Avoid using sticky notes or keeping them close to the protected item
- Change passwords immediately on accounts you suspect may have been compromised
- Whenever possible, enable multifactor authentication, which adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple credentials, such as a password and a one-time code generated by an app
