Keep your Speako account secure with strong password practices.
Creating a Strong Password
A strong password should:
- Be at least 8 characters long (Speako's minimum requirement)
- Include uppercase and lowercase letters
- Include numbers
- Include special characters (!@#$%^&*)
Good example:
MyB@rber2024!
Weak example: password123
Password Tips
Don't Reuse Passwords
Use a unique password for Speako that you don't use elsewhere.
Use a Password Manager
Password managers can:
- Generate strong passwords
- Store them securely
- Auto-fill when signing in Popular options include 1Password, LastPass, and Bitwarden.
Update Regularly
Consider changing your password periodically, especially if:
- You suspect someone accessed your account
- You shared your password with someone
- A service you use was breached
What to Avoid
- Common words or phrases
- Personal information (birthdays, names)
- Keyboard patterns (123456, qwerty)
- Previous passwords
Enable Social Login
For added convenience and security, connect your Google or Apple account:
- No password to remember
- Uses the provider's security features
- Faster sign-in experience See Connected Accounts (OAuth/SSO) for setup.
If You Think Your Account is Compromised
- Change your password immediately
- Sign out from all devices
