Keep your password safe - Runescape

[homie]

Never say it
It may seem obvious but whatever happens in game, you must not say your password. It is true that Jagex blocks it out but one misspelling and people could guess your password.
On the same subject, if you make your password something obvious like "pizza" when saying something in game it would come up as "I like pepperoni *****" and people could easily guess your password.

Don't write it down
It's not just hackers that can steal your account. Your devilish little brother/ sister could steal it as well and if you have your password lying on your desk then it won't be too hard for them! So the best place to keep your password is in your head.

Please also bear in mind that if you tell your friends your password you could be banned for sharing accounts

Make sure you are only logging in on http://www.runescape.com/

Clones of the runescape log on page can easily be made so always make sure that you are on the right website. Equally you should not use the same password on any runescape fansites or in fact any sites for maximum security.

What is a good password?

Do:
-Make it at least 8 characters wrong
-Have a mix of letters and numbers
-Avoid repeating characters like "aaaa"

Don't:
-Pick a number to do with you as in a birthday or house number
-Use anything to do with your name or account name
-Use a series of letters on your keyboard such as "qwerty" as these are very common

Thanks,
Homie

Is there any easy way to see if you have keyloggers on your computer?

[Fighter1405]

A simple virus scan will pick up quite a lot of keyloggers

a good virus scan is AVG free
that detects all of them

Edit:
Also great guide!
Their is a website (cant remember its name) that jagex made and you use you runescape info to log onto it, it is a black and purple theme, but dont use it until you have it checked. If you think you found it, send me the link, and ill tell you if it is the right website, I know what it looks like, and how everything is set up. And ill even sign on with my account, to test it.

Jagex (creators or RuneScape) have brought out a new site called:funorb.com

This is the only other site you should use your Runescape Login and password for.

[This is the Pruple orb themed site mentioned before]
to check it's the real deal you can visit JaGeX's official site; Jagex Software :: Home

Edit: awaiting confirmation from xxfoulxx.
