Help on selecting a strong password
Features of a strong password include:
- At least eight characters long
- A mixture of lower case and upper case letters, numbers, and special characters (please use one of these symbols !?()*+,:;=@_./-[]{});
You should avoid:
- Passwords based on personal information e.g. names of family, friends, pets, or memorable dates
- A sequence of, or repeated characters e.g. "12345678" or "22222222"
- Adjacent characters on your keyboard e.g. "qwertyui"
- Using some or all of your username in your password
If you use a credit card which is enrolled with the 'Verified by Visa' scheme or with the ‘MasterCard SecureCode’ scheme then make sure that your Betfair password is different to the password used to verify your credit card transactions.
