Usernames & Passwords

For lots of online games and apps, you get to choose a username and password for your account.

Here are our top tips for creating safe and secure usernames and passwords.

  1. Don’t include any personal information in your username. For example your name, age or school. Instead go for a nickname or another fun choice which doesn’t include clues about who you are.
  2. Don’t go for an easy password. Things like 12345, Password123 or a password made out of your personal information are easier to guess and mean your account won’t be as secure!
  3. Treat your password like your toothbrush. It’s just for you to know and use, and definitely don’t share it with friends – even if you trust them.
