Help us keep your information safe
You can do your part to ensure your data is kept safe by following some best practices:
- Don't share accounts or account details
Keep your login details – the email address and password you use to sign into DealMaker – to yourself. Don't let other people sign in on your behalf. Even if you trust others with your details, your sensitive information will be safer from theft and compromise when kept secret. - Use a password manager and strong passwords
We recommend using trusted password manager software to manage your passwords. These tools take the guess work out of creating and remembering your passwords, eliminate insecure passwords, and often allow you to sign in to DealMaker and other apps and services using biometrics such as a fingerprint or a facial scan, along with a strong master password.
If you insist on managing your own passwords, we suggest you pick a password that is easy for you to remember and hard for a friend to guess. Your birthday, kids' names, your graduation year, etc. are NOT necessarily good password builders as such information can often be found via social media/public domain. A good starting point for a password is four unrelated but memorable words, separated by spaces. Random numbers and special characters are recommended, but do make your password more difficult to remember.
