Have a bank pin set on your account and set the delay of removal to 7 days! I know it can be inconvenient at times, but the bank pin is your most important second layer of security. Use a different password for your email and your Runescape account! I know I'm being repetitive here, but I can't stress this enough.Īctivate two-factor authentication on your email account. Furthermore, if you accidently leak your login email through streaming for example you don't have to be afraid that your email account is going to be targeted, because that email account is irrelevant to you anyway.ĭo NOT use the same email for any other things (games, forums, etc.)! It's possible that your login email is leaked somewhere along with its passwords. The odds of being successfully "hacked" sink drastically if your account has dozens of passwords logged.ĭo NOT store your passwords on your PC! Instead write them down on a piece of paper if you can't remember them (for something like a Runescape password this is fine, however, this isn't recommended for more important information such as real life bank account details etc.).ĭo NOT use your login email name as your email! People likely created their accounts years and years ago and didn't think of account security back then. They're like footprints that only you know. Sadly Runescape passwords are not case sensitive.ĭo NOT use the same password for any other things (emails, games, forums, etc.)! This is self-explanatory, but some people still use the same password for everything, even for their Runescape related email.Ĭhange your password periodically (like every month)! Your previous passwords are important information.
Keeping your account secure at all times is essential to prevent getting "hacked" or recovered.Ī strong password consists of at least six characters (and the more characters, the stronger the password) that are a combination of letters, numbers and symbols #, $, %, etc.).
Jagex has a less detailed guide on account security as well, which you can view here This is a condensed guide on account security and will cover the following points:Ģ: How do people get "hacked" and how can I prevent getting "hacked"?
