Wrapping it up - Protecting Your Account

This section is a must-read for players with any amount of gold points!

Many people are worried about their account getting hacked, but preventing accounts from theft is very simple.

To protect your Runescape account, make sure you have a good password. A strong password is at least 6 characters long, and contains both letters and numbers, like the following password:

U8n4l1

Do not use any words in the dictionary, as these are much easier to guess than a password like the one above. However, a word in the dictionary mixed with numbers is usually secure, such as 1free457.

You must also have security questions in place. Make sure that nobody else besides you knows these questions, as anybody who answers these correctly will receive full access to your account. Use as many security questions as possible.

Your bank pin should be a random 4 digit number you thought up, not something like your birthday.

Check your account everyday to look for any suspicious activity. If the "You last logged in..." record (displayed every time you log in) does not match any of the computers that you played Runescape from, change your password and security questions immediately.

Don't fall for scams! Take all the precautions you already know to prevent against scams, and always double check the final trade window!

Don’t use your password, security questions, or bank pin anywhere else other than Runescape.com. If you sign up for anything, make sure you're not using your Runescape password.
