While enabling 2-Step Verification is the best way to protect your Animal Jam account, keep your account safe with a STRONG password that you can REMEMBER!
Here are some important tips on creating the safest password possible:
- Follow these tips:
- Choose at least FOUR random words! This will help make your password at least 14 CHARACTERS long!
- Make sure NONE of the words relate to your personal information!
- Add in NUMBERS and SYMBOLS!
- Don't share it with ANYONE, except your adult!
- DO NOT use the same password on multiple sites!
- Change your password ONCE A YEAR!
- Never reuse an OLD password—even PART of an old password!
- If you think someone has gotten into your account, change your password RIGHT AWAY!
There are many online sites that can advise you on the strength of your chosen password. Ask a parent to visit one with you to test the strength of your current Animal Jam password! Such websites can provide you an estimate of how fast a computer program could guess your password:
Be sure to change your password regularly, and encourage your parent to do the same with their Parent Dashboard login.
Never share your password reset link, or a screenshot of your password reset link, with anyone else! This will allow that person to change your password. AJHQ will never ask for your password reset link!
