We will discuss tips to keep your account safe, mistakes to look out for and ways to keep your account private. You will learn to activate Fairplay account security and learn what to do when you lose access to your account.

Why Fairplay ID Protection

Your Fairplay ID lets you access your profile and information. If you compromise your Fairplay ID, people can change your information and account in bad way.

Good security habits can help you:

• Stop people logging into your account.

• Protect your private information.

• Limit the chances of phishing.

• Make it easier to protect your account and increase security.

The key to secure daily account checks is establishing good security habits.

Strong and Unique Fairplay Passwords

One of the best ways to protect your Fairplay account is creating secure passwords.

Elements of a Secure Password

Your Fairplay password must:

• Avoid being a dictionary word or having an obvious format

• Be a minimum of 12 characters

• Include both upper and lower case letters

• Include both numbers and special characters

• Not be a previously used password

An example of a poor password choice would be something like:

• Fairplay2026

• password123

• an easily guessed mobile number

• an easily guessed personal number (such as your birth year)

• anything easily guessed or readily available (like your mobile number)

An example of a good password choice would be: a password with a mix of unrelated, nonsensical, or made up words, numbers, and special characters.

Password Maintenance

You must update your password periodically (suggest monthly) to minimize the chances of others being able to log into your account using your old password.

You must update your password as soon as you notice anything that may indicate that your account has been accessed without your permission.

Be Mindful of the URL You Are Accessing

One of the most commonly made mistakes that results in a breach of account security is logging into an account using an unofficial website.

Verify the Website Before Logging In

You must confirm the website is an official Fairplay site before entering your Fairplay login info:

• Examine the URL extremely closely

• Check for site encryption (indicated by a green check mark in the URL)

• Avoid Clicking Strange or Suspicious Advertisements

• If you have confirmed the site is the official Fairplay site, you may safely bookmark it

Fairplay phishing scams and fake login pages would most likely be avoided by using the official Fairplay site.

Confidential Information Must Remain Private

Confidential account login information must remain private.

Never Share Your Login Details

You should never share your:

• username

• password

• verification codes

• recovery links

• email log in credentials

You especially should not share any information with anyone claiming to be customer service. You should also not share password information without verification of their identity and the customer service assistance request is being done via an official Fairplay site.

Use Security Features

Utilizing available account verification features improves account security.

Complete Fairplay Verification

If available, you must complete Fairplay verification by confirming your:

• email

• mobile number

• identity (if verification is required)

Verified accounts generally enjoy better security and assistance during recovery requests.

In the future, verification will also help prove ownership of an account should the user have login issues.

Account Activity

Checking your account helps spot bad behavior before it becomes a problem.

Watch for Suspicious Activity

Watch out for:

• Login attempts from unknown sources

• Notifications that your password was changed

• Changes to your profile that weren't done by you

• Changes to your account settings that weren't done by you

If something suspicious is going on with your account:

• Change your password

• Log out of all sessions

• Reach out to Fairplay for help

The sooner the issue is reported, the better.

Secure Your Email Account

Account recovery requests usually access your email account.

If your email is hacked, your Fairplay ID is also at risk.

Email Security Tips

Secure email accounts by:

• Setting a strong password

• Turning on 2 factor authentication

• Checking recent login activity

• Steering clear of attachments from unknown senders

• Keeping your recovery information updated

Your email account is often your first line of defense.

Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Login

Public WI-FI is convenient, but often insecure.

Safer Ways to Access Your Account

Avoid logging into your Fairplay ID over:

• Airport Wi-Fi

• Hotel network

• Public cafes

• Public Wi-Fi in a shared office

If you have to use a public network:

• Use a reputable VPN

• Do not save your passwords

• Log out after your session

The internet is safer if it is secure.

Be Careful of Phishing Attempts

Phishing is still a huge online security risk.

Things to Look Out For

You should be suspicious of any emails or messages that:

• Have you reset your password without notice

• Urgently ask for confirmation information

• Offer rewards for you to log in

• Have links to suspicious websites

• Have poor spelling or grammar

You should only use the Fairplay official website to log in. Do not use any links that were sent to you.

Make Sure Your Devices Are Updated

Apps and software updates are done to protect your tools from vulnerabilities. Making sure the following are up to date will help protect your Fairplay log in:

• Mobile OS

• Computer Software

• Web Browsers

• Antivirus Software

Use Secure Browsers

Newer Browsers are more likely to capture unsafe websites. Keep your Browsers up to date and make sure not to download unknown Extensions that may capture Private Information.

Keep Recovery Information

Most people do not keep recovery information until they lose access to their account.

Recovery Information to Keep

You can keep the following to make recovering your Fairplay account easier:

• Recovery Email

• Active Mobile Number

• Back Up Contact Info

If you have lost access to your account, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Go to Fairplay and use the Official Recovery Option

Never go to a different Recovery Page to recover your Fairplay account.

Step 2: Follow the instructions to verify your information

You may have to verify:

Step 3: Create a new Password

Never reuse Old Passwords.

Step 4: Review Account Settings

After regaining access:

• Check your profile

Common Fairplay ID Security Mistakes

Generally, security threats are a result of easily avoidable mistakes.

Reusing Passwords

Having the same password for multiple sites means that your Fairplay ID security relies on the security of every other site you reuse that password.

Clicking Unknown Links

Always avoid messages and emails that ask you to login by clicking on a link.

Ignoring Security Alerts

You should take actions to investigate security alerts for logins that you have not performed.

Sharing Login Details

Do not provide your Fairplay ID credentials to anyone claiming to provide assistance.

Using Weak Passwords

When your password can easily be guessed, it is very likely that your Fairplay ID will be compromised.

When to Contact Fairplay Support

You should contact Fairplay support when:

• you have not been able to recover your account,

• your account is compromised,

• you are unable to pass the verification process,

• you are unable to log in after password reset,
