As [b][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/18405]The Welcoming Committee[/url][/b], we advise you to take some precautionary measures when submitting information online. Bungie's [b][url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360048721292-Account-Security-Guide]Account Security Guide[/url][/b] gives important information on how to secure your account. [spoiler]Passwords are very crucial for protection. It is highly recommended to change your password often and use a mixture of uppercase, lowercase, and special characters as well as numbers. A good example of a strongly secured password is "xx0M3GA$H3NR0Nxx". A password that can be easily guessed should never be used such as "abc123". There is a great tool to clear your computers history and unwanted files which is called [b][url=https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download]CCleaner[/url][/b] so check it out! It can also remove passwords from your computer if you accidentally allow a website to remember them. It is also highly recommended to add security features to your email address such as security questions and secondary emails in case a security breach occurs. Online identity is important in life if you wish to remain anonymous. Everything you post online can be made public ranging from your name to your online photo. There are websites that offer privacy such as Bungie.net. You can click on your Bungie.net avatar and navigate to Settings and go through the tabs to adjust your settings to your liking. Have you received an email that looked suspicious? There are a few ways you can check to see what it is. An example of a real email from Bungie would be Bungie@info.bungie.net which can come from opting in Bungie Rewards. Before you click on the email, you first need to check to see if it is really from them. On most mobile devices, in order to see where the email has been sent from, click the "from" email. If you are unsure of the email address, do not click it and visit the #Help forums. You can post that email in the #Help forums for clarification while covering up your personal information. In order to save you from a lot of hassle, you can just hover a mouse over links on a PC, clicking on them on a smart device and not clicking on any links in untrusted emails.
