Keep your passwords secure
At Solarity, your financial safety is our priority. One of the most effective ways to protect your accounts is to use strong, secure passwords. Here is a quick guide to help you stay safe online.
Why secure passwords matter
A recent leak exposed more than 183 million email passwords, including millions connected to major email providers. Incidents like this show how important it is to keep your login information protected. If someone gets access to a password you use elsewhere, they may try it on your financial accounts too.

Tips for stronger password protection
1. Create unique passwords for every account
Do not reuse the same password across different sites. If one account is compromised, others can quickly become vulnerable.
2. Make passwords long and complex
Use at least 12 characters and include a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. Avoid personal details that are easy to guess.
3. Try using a passphrase
Passphrases are easier to remember and harder to crack. For example, choose a short sentence with a mix of words and numbers.
4. Turn on Two Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA provides an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification when you sign in.
5. Use a password manager
Password managers help create and store secure passwords so you do not need to remember them all.
6. Update passwords regularly
If you hear about a security breach or notice suspicious activity, update your password right away.
