Protecting your account and personal information is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience on Bali Local Stays. Both hosts and guests play a role in safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining privacy. Follow these best practices to keep your account secure and your information private.
1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords
- Create passwords that are at least 12 characters long and include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols.
- Avoid using common words, personal information, or easily guessable patterns.
- Do not reuse passwords from other accounts. Consider using a reputable password manager to generate and store your passwords securely.
