Memorable information

Step 2.	Under the panel for Security Options / Memorable information, press SET
Step 3.	Enter and confirm your Memorable Information, which should be 8 to 12 characters, of letters and numbers with no spaces, then press the SUBMIT button.

What happens next ?

From now on when you log in you will be asked for randomly selected letters from your memorable information.
If you forget your login details, or have been barred from logging in, please contact BullionVault for assistance.

How does this check protect me?

The memorable information check protects you from:

"Shoulder surfing": The memorable information check asks for a different set of characters every time. If someone watches over your shoulder to see your password, they will still not have the right information to log in again.
Keyboard logging: If a hacker gets access to your computer — particularly physical access — it becomes possible for them to record your keystrokes. Because the memorable information check forces you to select characters with a mouse, it becomes much harder for a hacker to record how you accessed your account.
