I know it's obvious but I thought someone should make mention that even though the Jamroom Servers passwords are extremely secure- they are only as secure as your log in password here at jamroom.net
For instance if your password here is something like "password" it seems in my mind that a bot running the web using common passwords could log into your jamroom and have access to your server..
I am sure I will be corrected if this is wrong but thought it should be brought up

This is a good point, and I would highly recommend enabling 2 factor authentication on your account here:

https://www.jamroom.net/user/account

Just check the "2 Factor Authentication" checkbox.

What this will do when enabled is that when you log in to Jamroom.net here, instead of being logged right in, an email will be sent to your configured email account with a special code in it that you must enter to continue.

This makes it much harder for someone to gain access to your account by just knowing your username and password - they also have to have access to your email account.

Hope this helps!
