Sometimes if you don’t log in frequently to a site, the login details could escape your memory. This has happened a lot to our members who have accounts on the BAKE site. I hope that this post will help you log back into your account even if you had forgotten your password.
1. Click on ‘Forgot password’ at the bottom of the login page.
2. Provide your email so that a link can be sent to your inbox.
3. Check your inbox for the following message and click on ‘Reset Password’
4. When you click on ‘Reset password’, you will be redirected to this page where you will be required to enter a new password;
5. Once that is done, you will get a confirmation that your password has been reset and you can then log into your BAKE account
When creating a password for any site, as much as you want to create a strong password, make sure it is memorable. Try to be creative and use unique information to create a password that cannot be easily cracked.
Instead of using your initials for example, you could use the initials of your favorite travel destination, favorite food, first boyfriend or girlfriend. E.g If my first boyfriend was Anderson Hays cooper, I would create a password with his initials i.e Ahc (and have one letter in caps). I could then use the last digits of my phone number read backwards. So if my phone number ends with 1234, I’d use 4321. I could also add a special character that I fancy say, the hashtag. I would finally end by adding the first initial of the site, which in this case is BAKE, in brackets. The password I will end up with for the BAKE site will therefore be Ahc4321#(B) and I will remember it because each letter, each number and character means something. What’s more, you can modify the same password and use it to log into other websites by changing the last letter to match the name of the website and playing around with the special characters.
You can also:
- Use words from a language that you commonly use even if it is mother tongue or Swahili
- Combine the first letters of a phrase or quote that you are fond of, your mantra, a proverb or Kitendawili.
So how creative do you get when creating your password?
