You sign into your account with your user ID and password. When creating your password, follow these tips:
Your password must be:
- At least 6 characters
- A combination of at least two of the following: uppercase or lower case letters (A-Z or a-z), numbers (0-9) and special characters (?_!@#) (example: Beatlesfan#28, $uperman1963)
Your password can't be:
- Similar to your email address or Site user ID.
- Common passwords or passwords with number or letter sequences (example: abc123)
- Single words that can be found in the dictionary (example: kangaroo)
Other password tips:
- Don't use personal information that others can easily obtain or guess (example: your name, phone number, or birth date).
- The longer and more complex your password is, the harder it will be to guess. Place numbers and punctuation randomly in your password.
- Create a password that's secure, but still easy for you to remember. To help you remember your password, consider using a phrase or song title as your password. For example, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" can become "Sw0tR8nBo."
- After creating your password, protect it. Don't share your password with others.
- Don't use the same password for your other online accounts, such as email, bank, and social networking accounts.
Note: We will never ask you to provide your password by email.
