Don’t let anyone take over your online store.
If you had a brick-and-mortar store, you wouldn’t just put a flimsy lock or chain on the door and think it was secure. You’d want something stronger to keep thieves out. Similarly, you shouldn’t use a weak password for your Shopify account—it’s just too risky.
