Account Security Best Practices
Password Guidelines
- Use at least 12 characters
- Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols
- Don't reuse passwords across services
- Use a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, KeePassXC)
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Always enable 2FA — it prevents 99% of account takeovers
- Save recovery codes in a secure location
- Use a hardware security key for maximum protection
Beware of Phishing
- GameHostCloud will NEVER ask for your password via email
- Always check the URL:
gamehostcloud.com(not gameh0stcloud.com etc.) - Don't click suspicious links in emails
- Report phishing attempts to [email protected]
Login History
Monitor your login history in Dashboard → Settings → Security → Login History:
- View all successful and failed login attempts
- See IP address, browser, location
- Get alerts for logins from new devices/locations
API Key Security

- Set expiration dates on API keys
- Rotate keys regularly
- Never share API keys publicly
