Keeping your account secure

Erin Neff User Support Lead

At Tuenti, we want to help you keep your account as secure as possible. And one of the best ways to minimize the risk of someone compromising your account is choosing a strong password and updating it frequently.

Apart from keeping it a secret, there are a number of factors that contribute to choosing a strong password, such as including both letters and numbers and using a combination of upper and lower case letters. So to help you when selecting or updating your password, we have added a “password strength indicator” that automatically detects the strength of the password you are choosing in real-time and gives tips on how to improve it. We have also implemented new password security measures, such as increasing the minimum required length to eight characters and requiring that new passwords pass a personal information security test. To learn more about steps you can take to help protect your account, we recommend reading the following tips from Google.

As part of Tuenti’s initiative to help increase account security, existing users will be alerted if their current password is detected as being not strong enough and encouraged to create a new one. We encourage you to update your password regularly, which can be done from your settings page when you are logged in to your Tuenti account. Go there now and check out our new strength meter!
