Setting Up Strong Login Credentials

‍

1. Choosing a Strong Password

A strong password is your first line of defense. Follow these guidelines when creating your BrandLife password:

• Length: Use at least 12 characters. Longer passwords are stronger.
• Complexity: Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (e.g., Brand!Life2025).
• Avoid common patterns: Do not use predictable sequences like 123456, password, or your username.
• Unique passwords: Use a different password for BrandLife than for any other site.
• Memorability: Consider using a passphrase—a string of random words or a phrase that is easy to remember but hard to guess (e.g., CoffeeRain$BlueMoon!).

2. Setting Up Your Password in BrandLife

1. Log in to your BrandLife account.
2. Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
3. Select Account Settings → Change Password.
4. Enter your current password, then your new strong password twice to confirm.
5. Click Save.

You will see a strength meter indicating how secure your password is. Aim for “Strong” or “Very Strong.”

3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Adding 2FA provides an extra layer of security. Even if someone knows your password, they cannot access your account without your second factor.

1. Go to Account Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
2. Choose your preferred method:
   • Authenticator App: Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy.
   • SMS: Receive a code on your phone for each login.
3. Follow the prompts to link your device.
4. After setup, you will be prompted for your 2FA code every time you log in from a new device.

4. Best Practices for Keeping Your Credentials Safe

• Never share your password with others.
• Log out from public or shared computers.
• Use a reputable password manager to store complex passwords securely.
• Update your password regularly, especially if you suspect it has been compromised.
• Monitor account activity for unfamiliar logins.

5. What to Do If You Forget Your Password

If you cannot remember your password:

1. Click Forgot Password? on the login page.
2. Enter the email address associated with your BrandLife account.
3. Follow the instructions in the password reset email to create a new password.
4. Make sure your new password follows the strong password guidelines above.

Key Takeaways

• A strong, unique password is essential to protect your BrandLife account.
• Two-Factor Authentication greatly improves security.
• Regularly updating your password and monitoring account activity ensures your assets remain safe.
