Creating a strong password for your Mews user account helps protect your property account from unauthorized access and helps keep your user account secure. Remember to never share your password with others nor store it in an unprotected file. 

 

Your Mews user account password needs to consist of 12 characters and include symbols or special characters.  

 

Malicious entities can break a weak password in seconds, for example, the name of a pet and a date. To create a more secure password, you can follow the tips below: 

 

Tips for a secure password 

• Choose a password with at least 12 characters: Include a mix of letters, both uppercase and lowercase, numbers, and special symbols to strengthen your password. You can use a reputable password generator for inspiration, or to create a secure password, for example, 1Password’s password generator.  
• Use different passwords: Make your password significantly different from previous passwords. 
• Use a passphrase or sentence: Convert the passphrase or sentence into a string of initials, numbers, and symbols. For example, change “I love Mews 2024!” to “ILvmws#2024”.  
• Avoid common words or predictable patterns: Avoid simple sequences or sentences, for example, "12345" or common words like "password" or "admin." Don’t use a single word or easy-to-guess information, like family names or favorite bands. 
• Do not reuse passwords from other accounts: Each account should have a unique password to reduce risk if another account is compromised. You can set up and use a password manager to store your passwords. You can learn more about this here.  
• Avoid personal information: Don't include names, birthdays, or other details that someone could easily guess.
