Help on selecting a strong password

Features of a strong password include:

  • at least 8 characters long;
  • a mixture of lower case and upper case letters, numbers, and special characters (please use one of these symbols !?()*+,:;=@_./-[]{});
    never write down your password.
  • You could choose to base your password on the first letters of an easily remembered sentence e.g. "I need a password which is easy to remember!" could become "Inapwie2r!".

You should avoid:

  • passwords based on personal information e.g. names of family, friends, pets,
    or memorable dates;
  • words that can be found in the dictionary, and simple variants (e.g. spelling a
    word backwards);
  • a sequence of, or repeated characters e.g. "12345678" or "22222222", or
    adjacent characters on your keyboard e.g. "qwertyui";
  • using some or all of your username in your password;
  • same password on many web sites.
  • If you use a credit card which is enrolled with the 'Verified by Visa' scheme or with the ‘MasterCard SecureCode’ scheme then make sure that your Betfair password is different to the password used to verify your credit card transactions.

Please remember to keep your password secret. Betfair will never ask you to disclose your password.
