Storing an Email Address on File
Your email address is stored in an encrypted database. It will never be used or supplied to a 3rd party.
It allows you to use the "forgotten password" and "contact us" functionalities.
If you enter an email address, a validation email will be sent to the supplied address to confirm that it's your valid, active email address. Clicking on the link in the email address will activate the email address in your profile, otherwise the above funtionalities will remain unusable.
Password Strength
The strength indicator is a tool to help you pick a strong password.
The more complex your password, the harder it is to be guessed by malicious people.
You may chose to save your password at any strength level (minimum of 8 characters), but you are encouraged to use a "Strong" or "Very Strong" password.
We recommend that you use a "Strong" or "Very Strong" password that is specific to this site. For good security you should never use the same password on any other sites.
