== Security considerations ==
doors.txt;10;15
Security is highly valued by StrategyWiki's administrators, however it is your obligation to write a strong password to keep your account safe. We require that your password is at least six characters long.
* ''Don't share your password.'' Giving out your password to other people poses a very high risk of your password being shared among multiple people, let alone being impersonated. Keep it to yourself and protect the integrity of your work.
* ''Be creative with your password.'' Mix your passwords with numbers, capital letters, and symbols. A password that isn't in the dictionary greatly decreases the chance of being guessed by a person or computer program. Make sure your password is unique.
* ''Make your password only something you would know.'' The first name of your neighbor's pet might make a good password, but it's no match for something only you would think of. Name a dream. Name a stray thought. A password only you would think of is a password someone who knows you well couldn't guess.
* ''Register with an e-mail address.'' This will allow you to receive password reminders from StrategyWiki in the event that you forget your password.
