How to create a strong, unique password for your Roku account

Good practices for creating a strong, unique password for your Roku account

• Use a password manager: A password manager can generate strong, unique passwords, store, and even automatically fill in your passwords for you. There are free ones, like the built-in password managers in your web browser, and paid ones—trusted review sites can provide you with reputable recommendations.
• Create a new, unique password: Don't reuse past or current passwords from other services for your Roku account.
• Use memorable passphrases that only you know: consisting of a sequence of mixed words and characters with or without spaces, passphrases are easier to remember and more difficult to guess than a password made up of random, mixed characters (for example, "Iluv2walkmydogFran!" or "My 50 in TV hangs above a red brick mantle").
• Use at least 8 characters.
• Try including a complex mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, especially where not expected.

Things to avoid when creating a password for your Roku account

• Never use your email: Repeating your email as the password offers little security.
• Avoid common phrases, names, or dates: including famous quotations, and song lyrics.
• Do not use personal dates: personal dates like your birthday or an anniversary may be publicly available.
• Do not use a keyboard pattern: creating a password based on a keyboard pattern (e.g., qwerty, asdfghjkl) is not a good idea.
• Avoid writing down your password: if you need to write down your password, hide it carefully where no one will find it.
• Never give your password to anyone: giving your password to someone, even a close friend or family member, increases the chance of it being accidentally exposed.
