How do I create a strong password?
Use a password manager to create long, unique passwords.
Using a strong password is important for more than just your Unchained account; you should use strong passwords for all of your accounts. Email accounts, online banking, payment apps, and cloud storage accounts are critical to protect.
Note: In addition to a strong password, it’s important to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your Unchained account and on your other accounts.
We recommend using a password manager app to store these passwords. There are many options, but we’ve listed some common ones below as well as password creation best practices:
Password manager apps:
- Lastpass
 - Bitwarden
 - 1Password
 - Proton Pass
 - Apple Passwords
 - Google Password Manager
 
Password creation best practices:
- Use a different password for each website or account.
 - Generate passwords randomly using your password manager.
 - Enable multi-factor authentication for your password manager by following the app’s instructions.
 - Passwords should be at least 12 characters long with a mix of numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and symbols.
