Henry's Blog: Pandanda Coloring Pages!

I've had a lot of pandas tell me that they wished Pandanda had some coloring pages. Well, your wish has come true! I've just added a brand new Pandanda Coloring Book page to the website. You will find 9 different Pandanda pictures that you can print out and color!

I hope you will have a lot of fun with this new feature! Maybe you will discover that you are an artist as you use your creativity to turn the line drawings into beautifully colored works of art.


P
ARTy on, Pandas!

Henry's Blog: Sheriff Steele's Security Tips - Account Security

Hi again, Pandanda Citizens,

I hope you have all learned a lot about keeping your Pandanda account safe this week. With a strong, hard-to-guess password that you keep completely private, you can pretty much know that your account will be safe and secure.

Here are a few last tips to help make sure that your panda, and all of the things you have worked so hard to collect and buy, will be secure:

Do not check the “Remember my password” box on the login page if you play Pandanda on a public computer, such as at school or the library, or even at home where other people play.
  • If that box is checked, all anyone has to do to go on your account is click on your panda’s picture.  
  • Always log out of Pandanda when you go away from your computer. It is also a good idea to close the Internet browser. 
Make sure your computer is updated with good anti-virus and anti-spyware program
  • Pandanda has many security features in place to protect your account information, but it is up to you to protect your own computer.
Only use an account that you have created yourself, using your own email address. 
  • If you use an account that someone else made, that person still has control over the account because it is registered to their email address.
Don't forget, if you ever forget your username or your password, you can use the "I forgot my password" link. By entering your email address there, you will receive an email that shows the username and password for all of the accounts registered to that address. And if you need to change your password, use the "Change my password" link. You can find both of those links at the bottom of the Pandanda login page.

Keep it safe, Pandas!

Henry's Blog: Sheriff Steele's Security Tips - Password Privacy

Hello Pandanda Citizens,

I heard from a lot of you that my last blogpost inspired you to make your passwords stronger. That makes me so pleased, and proud of you! Your password is the first line of defense in keeping your Pandanda account safe.

Now that you have a strong password, you
must keep it private! If you tell it to even one person, you have put your account at risk. Remember, not even a member of the Pandanda Staff will ever ask you for your password.

Here is today's tip for keeping your Pandanda account secure:

Never tell your password to anyone, for any reason
  • Don't tell your password to anyone in Pandanda, or in any other place, such as a chatroom, message board, a blog, in an email, over the phone, by text, or in person.
  • Don't tell your password to your friends, brother, sister, cousin, or anyone else (except your parents).
  • Don't tell your password to the person who says they will get coins for your account, take care of your dragons, do Quests for you, collect Festival items for you, or anything like that.
  • Don't tell your password to the person who promises to make you an Elite member.
  • Don't tell your password to the person who says they just want to see what you have on your account.
  • Don't tell your password to the person who wants to trade accounts with you.
  • Don't tell your password to ANYONE, even if they promise they will not do anything to your account.
Remember, if you tell your password to anyone, anything that might be done to your account is your responsibility.

Not sure if your password is private? All you have to do is change it! Use the Change My Password link at
http://play.pandanda.com/, and follow the tips I gave you on Tuesday for creating a strong password. Then keep that password completely to yourself!

Stay tuned for more important security tips, coming soon!


Keep it safe, Pandas!

Henry's Blog: Sheriff Steele's Security Tips - Strong Passwords

Hello Pandanda Citizens,

Sheriff Steele here, with some advice on creating a strong and secure password for your Pandanda account. Did you know that the best protection for your account is a strong password that NOBODY knows? (Well, you can, and should, tell your parents, but that's it!) Telling your password to anyone - even your best friend - gives that person permission to go on your account. And while they are on your account, they can do pretty much whatever they want. Just remember, YOU are responsible for your account, no matter who goes on it!

Here is today's tip:

Make a password that is VERY hard to guess.
  • Your password should be completely different from any other password you have used.
  • A strong password is one that cannot be found in the dictionary.
  • A strong password contains at least six characters - more is better. However, the limit is 18.
  • Your password should contain a mix of numbers and capital and lower case letters.
  • Your password should be something someone who knows you can't guess.
  • Never use any part of your real name, Pandanda name, or email address in your password.
Today would be a great day to check the strength of your password. If it doesn't pass the test, go ahead and create a new one!  Just go to http://play.pandanda.com/, scroll to the bottom and click on Change My Password.

I'll have another security tip for you this week. Thanks for reading!


Keep it safe, Pandas!
