Protect your Passwords!
May 01, 2016
Archived post from the original NationCHAT news page. Servers, staff and services mentioned here may have changed since.
There's been a lot of news lately of 'Password Failures' from our users, so we would like to take the opportunity to remind you all to be vigilant with your passwords.
NationCHAT takes our users security very seriously. All passwords relating to access are encrypted for additional security.
But here are some recommendations from our Staff to protect your NationCHAT (and other) passwords:
- NEVER share your password with anyone! (NationCHAT Staff will NEVER ask you for your passwords.)
- NEVER identify or login to things in any window other than the Status Window. (If you forget the / you may post your password or login information into a public channel or private message to an unintended recipient)
- Choose a STRONG and UNIQUE password. (See this wiki article for more information)
- Change your password every 3 months, and IMMEDIATELY if it becomes compromised or accidentally seen.
- Read the online articles about The Myths of Password security.
As always, you are welcome to ask in #Help if you need assistance with any questions or problems.
Enjoy NationCHAT!
Kind regards, NationCHAT Team
