2. Select your Google account.
3. Grant the required permissions.

## Password Requirements

For a strong and secure password we recommend:

* At least **8 characters**
* A mix of **uppercase and lowercase** letters
* At least one **number**
* At least one **special character** (e.g. `!`, `@`, `#`, `$`)

<Warning>
  Never share your password. Hextrade staff will never ask for your password. Enable two-factor authentication from [Account Utilities](/get-started/account-utilities) once logged in.
