How do I keep my Garena accounts safe?
Garena will never ask for your login information via call, SMS, email, in-game chats, or other messaging services.
- Keep your password confidential and change it regularly
Do not share your login details with anyone, including Garena staff, family or friends. Your account password must be confidential.
You should set a complex password and change it regularly to keep your account secure. A strong password has the following characteristics:
Does not contain your personal name or username.
Has a minimum length of 8 characters.
Has numbers, symbols (e.g. !@#$%^&*), uppercase and lowercase letters. - Be careful of who you share information with
Phishers are constantly on the lookout for valuable personal and financial information (e.g. account passwords, credit card numbers and wallet PINs).
Be careful of who you share your information with and keep your account secure by following these tips: - DON'Ts
Don't respond to calls, emails, or other messages requesting personal login or financial information, such as your password, one-time password (OTP), credit card information and social security number. Garena will never ask for your login information via call, SMS, email, in-game chats, or other messaging services.
Don't enter critical information over unsecured networks (e.g. public wifi) or on public computers. Cybercriminals can potentially intercept these channels and obtain your information.
Don't click on suspicious links in chats or emails which may be a phishing site serving to collect personal information from unsuspecting victims. - DOs
Keep your password, wallet PIN and OTP private. When in doubt, contact Garena through our Support Page.
Only perform transactions that involve entering critical information (e.g. withdrawing your wallet balance) over a secure network (e.g. your personal mobile phone network, home wifi).
What should I do if I believe that I have been phished through one of your games?
Requests personal or financial information such as your credit card number

Contains a forged link
Urges you to act quickly
Uses a generic greeting such as "Dear User"
Is unprofessional, contains spelling mistakes and bad grammar
However, not all phishing emails / SMS / messages will have these characteristics, so please take care and never share your personal or financial information via such channels.
