PRO TIP: If you are changing your WordPress username and password, be sure to take the following precautions:

1. Choose a strong password that is difficult to guess. A strong password should be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

2. Do not use the same password that you use for other online accounts. If someone guesses your WordPress password, they will then have access to all of your online accounts that use the same password.

3. Change your password regularly to further reduce the risk of someone guessing it.

4. Keep your WordPress username and password confidential and do not share it with anyone.
