Password Security

Security and Your Wireless Device

Along with the considerable resources T-Mobile has and will continue to dedicate to customer security, there are some specific actions you can take to help protect your mobile phone accounts, voicemail, and personal data.

• Utilize passwords to safeguard your personal information in the following three areas:
  
  • On MyT-Mobile.com - the Web self-service tool
  • Attached to your account, when calling Customer Care
  • On your voicemail box
• Be sure your password to access My T-Mobile has a combination of letters and numbers.
• Change your passwords at least every 60 days.
• Don’t use the same password for all systems or providers that require one.
• Make your password easy to remember but difficult for others to guess.
• Don't store your passwords on any computer system.
• Never give out your passwords, even to friends or family.
• Never give your password for online access over the phone or in an e-mail.
• Never leave your wireless device unattended in a public place, or visible in your car.
• If you lose a device, or there is suspicious activity on your account, call T-Mobile immediately.
