About email addresses

Your email account is directly related to your >x< account. You should use a secure and private email address to associate with your >x< account. If you forget your >x< password, instructions for resetting it can be emailed to your email address upon request.

If you do not have a secure email account, you do not have a secure >x< account.

Use a strong, unique password and keep it safe.
- When you set up your account, be sure to choose a strong password (at least 10 characters that include upper and lower case characters, numbers, and symbols).
- Do not share your password with anyone. No matter how strong your password is, if someone else knows it, it’s no longer secure.
- Do not use the same password on multiple sites or for multiple accounts on the same site. One compromise can lead to many others.
- Do not use the same password for your email and >x< account.
Use a password management system that will generate and store strong passwords for you. Both 1password and Lastpass are good options.
