While the concept of protecting your Second Life account seems rather obvious, there are all manner of players who still make mistakes when it comes to protecting their SL account. Naturally, the advice that you hear about not sharing an account is just common sense and you hear about this proper procedure all the time. But even discussing the name of your account can cause all manner of difficulties, as there are individuals who are skilled at hacking passwords as well as user accounts.
By making sure that you do not discuss the name of your SL account, you can reduce the chances of anyone hacking into your player account. In addition, taking the time to come up with a clever and unique account name can help to avoid having hackers simply guess the name of your Second Life account. This is a common tactic and it involves simply guessing at a lot of popular names that might be used as the username for a Second Life account. It is surprisingly effective, as many players choose pop-culture references or simple names to give to their accounts.
Keeping discussion of your SL account and any difficulty you may be having to a minimum is another good way to avoid having any problems. As soon as trouble occurs, be sure to report any problems to administrators and look into changing your Second Life account password on a regular basis. Simply by constantly changing the password, you can eliminate the ability for most individuals to get in.
