| Your password should be easy for you to remember but not for others to guess. If your password can be easily guessed, your AOL® account is no longer secure. Here are some tips to create a secure password:
- Your password must be within 6 - 16 characters.
- Your password can be a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters (e.g., #, @, and &).
- Your password is case-sensitive.
- One password strategy is to base the password on a sentence, using the first letter or number of each word to create your password. (E.g., I own a 68 red ford mustang! Your password might be Ioa68rfm!.
- Do not use common or easily guessed words in your password (e.g., first and last name, online identity, or words found in a dictionary).
