How to create a secure password

When you're creating your Valla account, it's important to use a secure password. Here are some dos and don'ts for creating a secure password.

Things to avoid when creating your password

Try to avoid using names or places that are easily associated with you. This includes your name, and names of:

❌ family members

❌ pets

❌ places associated with you, like where you went to school

Simple ways to make your password more secure

You can make your password more secure by mixing and matching these approaches:

• Mix uppercase and lowercase letters, for example ‘PennY’ instead of ‘penny’
• Use numbers and symbols in your password, for example ‘Hot3lR00m?’
• Create long passwords - for example ‘ItWasTheBestOfTimesItWasTheWorstofTimes’ is better than ‘GreatExpectations’
• Use a password generator to automatically create a secure password. 

How to remember your secure password

We recommend using something like Lastpass or 1password to store your password securely, making it easier to use long and harder-to-read passwords without forgetting them.
