Credentials
Your credentials are the key to your CookieID, here are a few steps to strengthen your security!
Password
First you have to know, that your password is never stored in clear text at CookieID. We store passwords by default hashed with SHA256 and a salt to ensure highest security, also when a data breach would happen.
Example of Password: (in this case "HelloWorld")
This means strangers will never get your pasword from our systems, even we can't decrypt your password on our own.
But due to technologies like password cracking or phising you sould always use a safe password, that means:
More than 8 characters (this is a must to create an account)
Your password should not contain your email or any personal data
Capital letters and special characters
No personal or public information
In the best case you gernerate a random password and store it in a password manager.
Email
Keep in mind: Always use a valid email for security and account information and the possibility to reset your password. If you don't have access to your linked email for your CookieID, our support won't be able to help you in any questions or requests!
