At Soccer Manager, your account security is our top priority.

[edit] Password protection

One of the biggest contributions you can make to keep your account secure is by creating a strong password and keeping it safe.

A very common way a password may be compromised is simply to guess at what it might be. People often choose passwords that are easy to remember, keeping them short and uncomplicated. Unfortunately, in making the password easy to remember, you are also making it easy for someone who knows just a little bit about you to guess it.

Passwords may also be guessed if they are words that can be found in the dictionary. Thieves use programs to try every word in a dictionary as your password, hoping that one of the words will eventually match.

You can protect your password from these dangers by following a few easy principles:

  • Always choose a strong password to protect your account.
  • Mix upper and lowercase letters as well as using symbol characters.
  • Create unique passwords for each one of your accounts.

e.g. You may want to set your password to be 'Soccer', you could change this by adding in a number and a mix of capital and lowercase letters - like 'S@cc3r' - and you increase your security considerably.

[edit] Account Logging In and Out

To play Soccer Manager you need to 'Login' with you email address and password. Whenever you leave your computer you should 'Logout' from the log out link which can be found on the top right of the page - Image:Logout.jpg This will stop people from changing any of your settings on your account.
