Dear Kings and Queens,

This is a kind reminder to make sure you keep your forum accounts safe. The measures below can help efficiently protect your account from any breach attempts which, unfortunately, may happen anytime.

1. Make sure you use a secure password. A secure password has:

- If created with a random combination of words and letters -
  • 14+ characters
  • letters (capital- and lowercase)
  • symbols
  • numbers
- If created with a "diceware/phrase-method", i.e. uses existing words -
  • contains at least 4 random words (the average length of each word should be minimum 4.2 characters)
  • is separated by a symbol, such as dash
2. Enable Two-factor Authentication for your forum account.

To enable 2FA, please go to your profile settings by clicking on your username in the top right corner. Then go to Settings >> Password and security >> Two-step verification.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security that requires users to provide a second form of verification in addition to their password when logging in. This means that even if someone else gets ahold of your password, they will not be able to access your account without the second form of verification. By using 2FA, you're not only protecting your account, but also helping to protect the entire community! With so many people relying on our forum, it’s crucial that we all do our part to keep it secure.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team
