How safe is your username?
It is very important to create a safe User Name (i.e., one that a computer program or persistent individual won't easily be able to guess in a short period of time).
Tips for creating a User Name:
- Use a name that you can remember - maybe the name of a childhood friend your abuser doesn't know.
- Use a name that your abuser will not know and cannot guess.
Tips for keeping your User Name secure:
- Don't tell your User Name to anyone (this includes significant others, roommates, parrots, etc.).
- Don't write your User Name down.
- Don't send your User Name by email.
