Your DediRock account stores sensitive information, including billing details, hosting access, and domain settings. A strong password is the first line of defense against unauthorized access. By following simple best practices, you can greatly reduce the risk of your account being compromised.
Why Strong Passwords Matter
Hackers often use automated tools to guess weak passwords. A secure password makes it much harder for them to gain access. Protecting your DediRock Client Portal with a strong password keeps your hosting services and personal data safe.
Tips for Creating Strong Passwords
1. Use at Least 12 Characters
Longer passwords are harder to crack. Aim for 12–16 characters minimum.
2. Mix Different Character Types
Include:
-
Uppercase and lowercase letters
-
Numbers
-
Special symbols (e.g., !, @, #, $)
Example: G8#nqT!7vP2s
3. Avoid Common Words and Patterns
Don’t use:
-
“password123”
-
Your name or birthday
-
Keyboard patterns like
qwertyor123456
4. Use a Passphrase
Combine random words into a phrase that’s easy to remember but hard to guess.
Example: River!Sunset3Coffee*Moon
5. Don’t Reuse Passwords
Never reuse the same password across multiple accounts. If one site gets compromised, all your accounts are at risk.
6. Use a Password Manager
A password manager can:
-
Generate secure, unique passwords
-
Store them safely
-
Auto-fill login fields for you
