“But, we also require you to be informed on the right steps and actions to take to secure your account..”
Continuing, PalmPay listed eight crucial steps to help it’s customers secure their PalmPay accounts.
It stated: “Create Strong Passwords. Passwords should be complex, but easy to remember.
“To prevent your account from being hacked, use a complex password with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, for example GOdsent123@, and avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays, pet names, names for passwords and numbers that appear in chronological order.
“At the minimum, we advise you to change your password across all your online platforms every three months.
