A GENERAL GUIDE-ACCOUNT SAFETY
1. Use a STRONG password. This is obvious but you might not know some good password tools.
IF YOU FEEL YOUR PASSWORD IS NOT STRONG, CHANGE IT.
When choosing your password, there are 3 things to keep in mind, Memorability, Randomness, and Character Choice. When thinking of a password try to think of a word thats long, but easy to remember. LETS GO WITH WOODEN-CHAIR for this example.
Secondly, take this word, in our example, WOODEN-CHAIR, and alter it with memorable randomness. Like ¨WOODEN-chair instead of WooDeN-ChAiR. that capitalization would be much harder to remember. We could also alter it by switching the words around, or adding dashes at the front.
Finally, lets add characters to it -W00D3N-chair or (if you want it to be stronger) W0OD3N-ch@ir
-W0OD3N-ch@ir 45 years to crack according to www.my1login.com/
However I also found -W0)ODEN-ch@ir takes 20 CENTURIES to crack...
dont use very common words though, that will make your password really easy to get if people try to hack you with bots. (even if you have Random characters, etc. Wooden chair only works because of the parentheses and dashes.
2. AVOID PHISHING
One Tactic I see frequently is ¨Email scams¨ or their correct name: Phishing. Phishing works by getting you to use an email address (usually by promising a reward if you do) ¨15000 gold if you put *scam.funny-number@gmail.com* in your account info.
Most Websites have an option to recover an account if you lost its password, this is by your account being connected to an email where the website will send a new password or activation link to your email to get back into your account.
People can abuse this if you use a foreign email
ONLY USE YOUR EMAIL IN YOUR ACCOUNT INFO
3. USE MULTIPLE PASSWORDS
If you have an alternate account, make sure to not use the same or a SIMILAR password. In KoGaMa there honestly isnt going to be that many people trying to hack into your account (Unless your YL) but In the case one of your other accounts gets compromised you dont want hackers using information on said alternate account to hack your main (or even alternate)
4. BE SMART WITH WHAT YOU POST
Be smart with what you share on your KoGaMa account. Dont put secret acronyms in your bio in case you forget your password (I know people who do that) Dont post any information hinting or sharing your password (OBVIOUS)
Dont tell anyone your password. DONT store your password in a game with a secret lock (dumb idea, youll probably forget the lock first) DONT store your password in an email only you can access.
THE ONLY PLACES YOU SHOULD BE PUTTING YOUR PASSWORD SO YOU DONT FORGET:
YOUR NOGGIN
POST IT NOTES IN REAL LIFE (unless your cautious people are spying on you or are going to rob you.)
PASSWORD MANAGERS
Under the paper encased in glass that cant be opened under a box located 5000 feet below ground (1524 meters)
under your closet which is guarded with a padlock and explosives encased in metal and surrounded by a moat of super fast turtle-sharks with laser cannons.
5. MISCELLANEOUS
(Definitely the first time I spelled that right without spell check.)
DO NOT,T,T,T,T,T,T
Chant this ryhme whenever you think your about to make a dumb decision regarding your accounts integrity
PASSWORD TOOLS:
www.my1login.com/
www.security.org/how-secure-is-my-password/
(how-secure-is-my-password judges your password strength differently than my1login)
my1login judges more variables, HOWEVER, due to this, passwords seem alot weaker then they actually are.
-W0)ODEN-ch@ir takes 41 trillion years to crack on how-secure-is-my-password
but only 20 centuries for my1login.
since hackers wont always use all of these variables, its safe to estimate that password takes about 800 centuries to crack. (or maybe as high as a few billion- trillion) depending on how much you estimate hackers.

a password manager, use complex passwords without having to remember them.
This can be applied to most websites, please note you should not look to me for advice if your account got hacked.
DID YOUR ACCOUNT GET COMPROMISED?
IF YOUR ACCOUNT WAS STOLEN:
TRY TO RECOVER IT BY CLICKING ´FORGOT PASSWORD´ IF YOUR EMAIL IS CONNECTED TO THE ACCOUNT
*however hackers may remove your email, but you have to confirm the changing of the email on your email ^^
(on KoGaMa atleast)
CONTACT KOGAMA SUPPORT OR MODMAIL AT THE DISCORD.
KOGAMA SUPPORT does usually respond, but if they do, it usually takes a few days-weeks.
your probably going to have much better chances at MODMAIL or the forum (provided you have proof its your account)
MAKE SURE MODERATORS CAN TELL THAT YOUR DISCORD ACCOUNT IS ACTUALLY YOU.
I am not a moderator, KogaFriend, Or any respectable title on this forum.
I am a rookie who you should not go to if you lost your account.
I created this thread purely for information, I am not a moderator on this forum, I was not told to this.
IF THIS GETS TAKEN DOWN BECAUSE I SAID SOMETHING STUPID (BAD ADVICE)ALL I CAN DO IS CRY, AND THATS MY FAULT.
IF THIS GETS TAKEN DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS OFF TOPIC, ALL I CAN DO IS CRY, AND THATS MY FAULT
have a great day.
MSOSPDAYWR. Do not overthink this scramble of letters and try to put them together
m=a
.=e
s=a
o=g
r=y
p=o
r=w
w=p
y=l
d=s
a=e
Do not think I actually put in the effort to add more to a puzzle which doesnt exist by creating an image:https:https://prnt/.sc/djfili/
