Here are a few steps to help maintain account security:

• Never share your password with others
• Select a unique password for your account
• Generate long and complex passwords. Make your passwords difficult to guess by avoiding:
  • Dictionary words (eg 'Godzilla123')
  • Repetitive or sequential characters (e.g. 'aaaaaa', '1234abcd')
  • Context-specific words, such as the name of the service (e.g. 'Newton123')
• Beware of phishing scams 
• Use MFA on your account
  • The most secure way is to purchase a security key, like a YubiKey
  • The most common way is to use an app, like Authy, Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator
  • SMS 2FA is easy, but the least secure. Beware of SIM swap attacks and take steps to avoid them (Newton does not support SMS MFA)
• If you acccess your account from devices that are shared like a household computer or tablet, always log out of your account when you have finished using it
