DNSimple allows a user to be associated with multiple accounts. This happens in two cases:

- The user is [added as a member to an existing account](/articles/account-users)
- The user created a new account

Managing multiple accounts is a flexible way to access different levels of service and share domain management with other users.
- The user is [added as a member to an existing account](/articles/account-users).
- The user creates another account under their existing user profile.

Managing multiple accounts is a flexible way to access different levels of service and share domain management with other users. If you want to invite another user to manage domains on your account, [read this article](/articles/account-users/#adding-members-to-an-account), and learn how to set access levels with [Domain Access Controls](/articles/domain-access-control/).

## Creating a separate account

# Securing your DNSimple Account
# Securing Your DNSimple Account

Some simple ways to further secure your DNSimple account:
### Table of Contents {#toc}

- Use a password for your account that includes letters, numbers and punctuation. You can even use multiple words or made up phrases.
- Use a long password (16 characters or more).
- Never give your password to someone you don't know. This includes DNSimple support - we'll never ask for your password to help troubleshoot issues.
- Use a unique password. Don't reuse a password from another service.
- Don't share your account with others. You can [share the domain](/articles/sharing-domain) or [use the Teams feature](/articles/account-users) to allow other users to access your domains.
- For an extra level of security, [enable multi-factor authentication](/articles/multi-factor-authentication).

Domains are some of the most important assets for any organization, business, or personal project. We do everything we can to keep your domains and information secure, but there are steps you can take to further secure your DNSimple account.

<alert>
If you've noticed fraudulent activity, or suspect someone has taken over your account, contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.
</alert>

## Password recommendations
- Create a unique password that includes letters, numbers, and punctuation. You can also use special characters (e.g. !@#$%^&*), multiple words, or a passphrase. Do not reuse passwords from other services.
- Make sure your password is 16 characters or more. This makes it more challenging for bad actors to compromise your account.
- Never give your password to someone you don't know. This includes DNSimple support — we will never ask for your password for any reason.
- We strongly recommend using a password manager like 1Password to create and store unique passwords for every service you use.

## Account sharing
- Don't share your account login with others.
- If you're on the Teams or Enterprise plan, you can [add seats to your account](https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/account-users/), and use [Domain Access Control](https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/domain-access-control/) to allow other users to access your domains with fine-tuned permissions.
- Only add authorized contacts to your account.

## Authentication
- We strongly recommend enabling [multi-factor authentication (MFA)](/articles/multi-factor-authentication/) for an extra layer of security. MFA is available free for every subscription.
- [Enforce MFA](/articles/multi-factor-authentication-enforcement/) for every team member managing domains on your account.
- Download and secure your recovery codes.

## Further reading

You'll find more information and resources for securing your domains on our [security page](https://dnsimple.com/benefits/security). You can also view our [security policies] (https://dnsimple.com/security) for more on how we handle specific issues.

## Automatic Seat Allocation with Single Sign-On (SSO) Providers:

If you've configured your account with single sign-on using [Google](/articles/google-identity-provider/) or [Okta](/articles/okta-identity-provider/), seat allocation becomes automatic. Your seat count is managed based on your organization's configuration. The SSO integration takes care of seat allocation, alleviating the need for manual adjustments.
