Keeping Your UNF myWings Account Secure
- 🔒 Create a strong password between 15 and 30 characters. It must start with a letter, followed by letters and numbers, and can include underscores but no other special characters. Avoid reusing old passwords.

- 🔒 Be vigilant against phishing attempts. UNF will never ask for your password via email. Always verify the sender and the legitimacy of links before clicking.
- 🔒 Regularly review your account activity within myWings for any unfamiliar changes or access logs.
- 🔒 Grant Third-Party Proxy access only to trusted individuals and carefully select which specific records they can view to maintain your privacy.
