Increase your Security Level
Use a few simple tricks to increase your safety.
Choose the right password
LockMyPix protects you with full encryption but your security strongly depends on your password. Avoid passwords with less than 8 characters to achieve maximum security.
Top Tips:
Use at least 8 characters mixed alpha-numeric with at least one special symbol
Make use of complex sentences that someone can't guess but you mind easily
A purely numeric password (PIN) should not contain less than 16 digits
Good passwords:
T#L59b.34U$L
5555KLA.Tzz
M3454.1$a2
34#58190#28957
5824962710024539$

In our experience, a secure password consists of at least 8 characters, alpha-numeric with at least one special character. However, we recommend at least 12 characters. Of course a long password is also a handicap if you want to open your Vault quickly.
With this in mind, choose a password that you consider suitable with at least 8 characters. A purely numeric password (or PIN) should contain at least 16 numbers.
Bad passwords:
2222
iamhome
8225566
191937456
You can change your password from the LockMyPix Settings -> Change Password.
