[edit] Keeping your account secure
Users, especially administrators, should keep their accounts secure. If someone accesses your account and causes malicious damage, your reputation could be in trouble! Below are some tips on keeping your account secure:
- Never give your Wikipedia password to anyone, not even users claiming to be staff!
- Only enter your password on a Wikimedia site. Beware of fake sites.
- Keep your computer up-to-date with the latest anti-virus software.
- Your password should be easy to remember, but hard to guess.
- Do not log on using public computers.
- If you decide to log on using a public computer, remember to log out when done.
- Be careful when running user scripts. Some scripts can be programmed to steal cookies and thus compromise accounts.
