Your sites are well-protected on OPTe.io. We monitor potentially harmful activity to ensure there is no unauthorized access to your content. To help keep your sites secure there are a few things you can do to protect your data.<\/p>\n

Keep your secrets secret<\/h2>\n

The weakest link in the security of anything you do online is your password. It\u2019s the key to your site, your email, your social networking accounts or any other online service you use. If your password is easy to guess, your online identity is vulnerable.<\/p>\n

All it takes is one person to guess your password and they can delete every post you ever made. They could deface your site. They could read you emails or hijack your address and impersonate you. They could ruin what you have taken time to build.<\/p>\n

Choose a strong password<\/h2>\n

Every password you use has to be easy to remember and hard to guess. A random set of numbers and characters make for a hard-to-guess password, but they\u2019re also hard to remember. On the other hand, you\u2019ll probably never forget your birthdate or the name of your first pet, but these make for very bad passwords, as they are increasingly easy to guess or find out.<\/p>\n

On OPTe.io, you can use very long password with any combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, so the security of your password \u2013 and by extension, of your site \u2013 is really up to you. We\u2019ve collected some tips for\u00a0creating strong passwords<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of trying to keep track of dozens of passwords in your head or in unsecured text documents on your desktop, use password management software. They will lock all your information down behind one single password. If you only have to remember one password, you can make it as random and as hard to guess as you want.<\/p>\n

These are some the password managers we use for our own passwords:<\/p>\n
