Blogates FAQs

We provide this option to keep you from having to enter your user name and password every time you return. We’ve added this feature solely for your benefit, to save you time and to keep you from having to remember yet another password!

What happens if I click the “Remember Me” box?
By checking this box, you’ll stay logged in for up to 2 weeks or until you logged out.

If you check the “remember me” box, we’ll put a small cookie on your computer that will let us know who you are next time you login again. Each time you return to the admin panel, you will be logged in automatically. (If you use a different computer, you will need to log in again.) This cookie does nothing more than “remember” you to the website.

What if I share my computer with others?
If other people use your PC, you may not want to use “remember me” . If you do, then they will automatically be logged in to all of your blog admin panel. In this case, you may prefer simply to log in at each visit.

What happens if I do not check the Remember Me box?
If you do not check the box, we won’t put a cookie on your PC. However, the next time you visit you will need to enter your login name and password again.

Forgotten username and/or password

If you’ve forgotten your Blogates account information, you can recover it by clicking the Lost your password? on the login page. Or, you can go to this page:

Password recovery email not received

Check your Spam/Junk/Bulk Mail folder to see if the message was mis-routed.
Try entering several email addresses in case you didn’t use your primary one for Blogates.
Try recovering your username instead of your password. You may have mis-remembered your username and could be sending password recovery emails to another user. (We recommend trying this, even if you think you are sure of your username.)

Forgotten email address

If you can’t remember which email address you used when you created your account, start by making a list of all your addresses (including old ones that you might have used when you signed up). Then, enter each address, one by one, into the username recovery form. Most will give you an error, until you hit the one that you actually used, in which case you’ll see a message indicating that your username has been sent.

The first step in protecting your online privacy is creating a safe password – i.e. one that a computer program or persistent individual won’t easily be able to guess in a short period of time. To help you choose a secure password, we’ve created a feature that lets you know visually how safe your password is as soon as you create it.

Tips for creating a secure password:

Make it lengthy. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is ideal.

Include punctuation marks and/or numbers.

Mix capital and lowercase letters.

Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number eight for the letter ‘B’ or ‘$’ for the letter ‘S’.

Create a unique acronym.

Things to avoid:

Do not use a password that listed as an example of how to pick a good password.

Do not use a password that contains personal information (name, society number, birth date, etc.)

Do not use sequential numbers (12345) and repeated characters (aabb66) or keyboard patterns (asdfg).

Do not make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters.

Do not use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary.

Do not using online storage.(If malicious users find these passwords stored online or on a networked computer, they have access to all your information.)

Include phonetic replacements, such as ‘Luv U’ for ‘Love you’.

Tips for keeping your password secure:

Never tell your password to anyone especially children (this includes significant others, colleague, roommates, parrots, etc.).

Never write your password down.

Never provide your password over e-mail or based on an e-mail request.

Periodically test your current password and change it to a new one.

Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control.

Log in to control panel and go to your dashboard and then go to Users > “Your Profile”. In the bottom right is “Update Your Password”.

If you don’t have any blog, when you log in you will be taken to a page with an “Update Your Password” form.
