Thkee has security measures in place to help keep your account safe, you can take additional precautions to protect your account and significantly reduce the risk of it being compromised.
Create a Strong Password
Choosing a strong and unique password is an extremely effective way to protect your account and prevent unauthorized access. While selecting a password for your account, we strongly recommend you consider the following:
-
If you’re selecting a password while accessing Thkee on a browser, passwords must be at least 8 characters long.
-
Remember that longer passwords are always better since they are harder to crack.
-
The best passwords are long and contain a mix of letters, numbers, symbols (e.g. #, !, &), uppercase, and lowercase letters.
-
Passwords should be unique to you and should not contain:
-
Sequential letters or numbers (e.g. abcdefgh, 12345678)
-
Repeating letters or numbers (e.g. aaaaaaaa, 11111111)
-
Words that are commonly used in the dictionary or across the internet
-
Words related to our site (e.g. “thkee”)
-
Your own name or email address, or words you might use on your social media accounts like your location or favorite team
-
Don’t use obvious numbers (for example, don’t use numbers that are in your birthday or phone number)
-
-
Create a unique password for each account and service you have, rather than using the same password for all sites, especially if there have been security breaches with those passwords. This way if one of your accounts is compromised, then that password cannot be used to gain access to your other accounts.
-
Rather than creating your own complex password, use a browser plug-in, system keychain, or third-party password manager to create and store complex passwords.
Change Your Password Periodically
Another excellent method to keep your account secure is to change your password from time to time, which is something we also advise. When changing your password, we advise against using one you've already used and instead creating a new one.
