Additionally, you can also set up a master password, which you will use if you lose access to your authentication method.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure to use at least 8 characters with a combination of uppercase, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.<\/li>\n<li>Enable two-factor authentication for added security.<\/li>\n<li>Utilize a password manager or an online tool such as Strong Password Generator.<\/li>\n<li>Set up a master password if you lose access to your authentication method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"4-how-to-restore-access-to-your-synology-device\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_How_to_Restore_Access_to_Your_Synology_Device\"><\/span>4.
