Why is a strong password important?

Setting up a strong password is a great habit to increase the security of your account.

Weak passwords tends to be easier for hackers to guess or brute force (cracking) an account, thus chips requires that all player set a strong password by using the combination of different methods.

What is required for a password to be considered strong?

A strong password must contact as least one of the following:

  • Eight characters long, for example:

    • Example1# (This password contain 9 characters, where each letter, number, or character is counter is 1)

  • Upper case letter, for example:

    • Example1# (This password contain one upper case letter, the "E")

  • Lower case letter, for example:

    • Example1# (This password contain six lower case letters, the "x, a, m, p, l, e|)

  • Number, for example:

    • Example1# (This password contain one number, the "1")

  • Special character, for example:

    • Example1# (This password contain one special character, the "#")

What is a special character?

A special character is a character that is not an alphabetic or numeric character. Exclamation marks and other symbols are examples of special characters. Unlike alphanumeric characters, special characters may have multiple uses.

Example of special characters:

  • @

  • #

  • $

  • %

  • ^

  • &

  • *

  • !

Note:

The example for the password we provided above "Example1#" is just an example for what a strong password might contact, and it should not be used as your own password ever.
