Protect your password:
Do not write down your password. Instead, memorize it. Do not share your password, in particular with anyone who claims to be from computer support or a vendor, unless you are certain that they are who they say they are.

Do not allow anyone to watch you enter your password. Do not enter your password on a computer that you do not trust. Change your password often. also Don't insert your password by clicking a link on a email.

Tips to choose a password:
The cPanel system attempts to prevent particularly insecure passwords, but it is not foolproof. Create your password wisely. Do not use words that are in a dictionary, names, or any personal information (for example, your birthday or phone number).

Avoid simple patterns. Instead, use UPPER and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Make certain that your password is at least eight characters long. When you choose a new password, make certain that it is not related to your previous passwords.
