Step | Instructions | Example or Picture | Notes |
---|---|---|---|

6 | Go back to the Palms home page and log in using the temporary password. You'll be prompted to pick a new password, which you must enter twice. | Passwords must be at least 6 characters and have at least one digit. Pick a password that you can remember but that isn't easy for others to guess. Combining two unrelated words, e.g. "flipflop73dessert", will produce a safer password than a single word. A password like "abc123" is too easily guessed. The safest password is a long strings with no words or patterns, which you'd have to record somewhere so you can remember it. Some people use a program called a Password Manager to keep track of their passwords and allow them to use very safe passwords like wAuv3aDs9Yi4Grud. |
