Review the tips below to learn more about how you can help keep your GigHound account and information secure.
Password strength
Make sure your password is at least 8 characters long, and use a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters (e.g. #, $, !).
The password you use for your GigHound account should be different than the passwords you use for other websites, like your email, bank account, or social media. That way, if one of your other accounts is compromised, it's less likely to impact your GigHound account.
