Tips

• Make sure you can remember your password.
• Try passwords that have at least one uppercase letter, and at least one letter. They are very strong passwords.
• When making a password, DO NOT use something like "gmail", "password", one that is all numbers such as "39357777110048", your name, or any random typing like "wniodnidnn35gdas".

Warnings

• Have a recovery email or secret question.
• Never tell anyone your password under any circumstances. The only exception is a parent or legal guardian (under age 18) or trusted spouse (if married and share an account).
