These days, cybersecurity is an absolute must. Your VyprVPN account is a valuable commodity and worth protecting. As one of the purposes of a VPN is to help protect against theft of private information, the potential for loss of account access due to intrusion after a weak password was overcome has a sad irony to it. Having a strong, secure password convention is a good way to avoid loss of control over the account.
When creating a password, the requirements are 8-14 digits. Here are some recommendations for a strong password:
- Be sure to include lower-case, upper-case, numbers and special characters (ie: @$^*!)
- Try to avoid spelling recognizable words as these are simpler to decipher than non-recognizable passwords. This includes words using special characters in place of letters
- Avoid finishing the password on a number as well. It's common for passwords to end with 1 or 0 so it's a factor that those who exploit weak passwords will look for
If you do encounter an issue where the account may be compromised due to a password and/or email address change, please reach out to our support team at the earliest convenience. We will happily help restore access to your account!
However, if you aren't having any issues and just wish to update the password, you can change the password from your Account or through the Password Recovery tool.
