Gun Safe Passcode SafetyAll of the hidden gun safes made and sold by Forgesafe are secured with a digital combination lock for safety. Our digital keypad makes it possible to access anything in your safe quickly and easily without the imprecise dial and the maintenance needs of a mechanical combination lock. Plus, there's no way a criminal can listen into the locking mechanism for clicks and clunks like they can with a mechanical security device.

Forgesafe's digital combination locks are superior to alternative security measures in a number of ways, but it's up to you, the consumer, to ensure thay're being used in the safest, most efficient way possible. Your choice of passcode combination can make a big difference in the ultimate safety your safe provides. Here are a few dos and don'ts to consider when choosing a passcode:

Don't use numbers that are relevant to your personal life, such as your anniversary with your spouse or the birthdays of your children. It won't take more than a little research on your Facebook, Instagram, or other social media page for a person with bad intentions to find this information.

Do change your passcodes frequently. If someone has somehow been working at breaking into your safe, all their progress will be lost once you change the combination.

Don't use characters that appear consecutively on a keyboard (i.e. “1234”). Such passcodes are easy to guess, and there is even software out there to assist criminals in cracking such combinations.

Do use a different passcode for each safe, if you have more than one. If you use only one passcode and someone figures it out, they now have access to all the things in all your safes.

Don't leave your passcode on a sticky note anywhere around your home or place of business, and don't keep an obvious list of passwords/passcodes on any of your electronic devices. This sounds fairly obvious, but it's a common mistake.

Do consider using an online password manager that will store your multiple passwords for online accounts and your gun safe passcode for you. Then you'll only have to remember one very strong password to access your list. Alternatively, you can make a diguised password/passcode list on a device by creating a file with a title that looks like other files on your device (say, “LessonPlans_July” if

you're a teacher) but that you know is something different than what it's labeled. Be sure to hide your passwords among other information in that file.

Don't give your passcode out to anyone who doesn't truly need it, not even a close friend. Unfortunately, someone whom you trust today may not be so trustworthy in the future. Or perhaps that person might write down your passcode to help them remember it and then lose the note or forget to destroy it, potentially allowing your passcode to fall into the wrong hands. Never trust an email or other piece of communication that appears to be from Forgesafe that asks you to divulge your passcode.
