  • If you're still not receiving your password-reset email after the trying the steps above, contact your Internet Service Provider to make sure they're not blocking email traffic coming from Bepuppy

When you create a new password, make sure that it's at least 6 characters long. Try to use a complex combination of numbers, letters and punctuation marks.

If you see a message letting you know the password you entered isn't strong enough, try mixing together uppercase and lowercase letters or making the password longer.

The password you create should be easy for you to remember but hard for someone else to figure out. For extra security, your Bepuppy password should be different than the passwords you use to log into other accounts, like your email or bank account.
