# How to Add a Passphrase to Your Account Using AMP

When you contact InMotion Hosting, for security and privacy, you will be asked to [verify your account](/support/amp/how-to-verify/). You can provide account verification with either the **last 4 digits of a credit card on file**, an [**AMP Hashcode**](/support/amp/how-to-verify-a-live-contact-with-an-amp-hashcode/), or a **Passphrase**.

A Passphrase can be any word/phrase that you would provide in lieu of the AMP password or last 4 digits of your credit card to verify your account. In this guide, you can learn how to **add a Passphrase** using the **AMP** interface.

## Add a Passphrase

1. [Log into your AMP](/support/amp/how-to-log-into-amp/).
2. Click on the **My Account** drop-down menu.
3. Click on **Login & Security**.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of this page, to reach the *Account Passphrase* section. Then, click on **Edit Passphrase**.
5. In the field that appears, enter your desired Passphrase using letters and/or numbers. Special characters are not allowed.
6. Click the **Save** button to save your new Passphrase.

Now that you have **added a Passphrase to your account** you may provide it when contacting InMotion Hosting, to verify your account. If you add a **Developer Passphrase**, you can provide this to your developer or designer. They will be able to provide this to Support Agents and receive verified access to the account’s cPanel. A Developer Passphrase will *not* provide AMP access.
