Where to Find Help

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.
