  3. Insert a password that is of 6 to 12 characters. Use the combination of uppercase & lowercase alphabets, numbers, and symbols to create a password that is easy for you to recall but difficult for others to guess.
  4. Retype the password to confirm it. Though you can copy the password you have entered and then paste the same to confirm the password instead of retyping it, we recommend you to re-type it manually so that you will be sure about what you have kept your password.

  6. If you don’t enter the alternative email address you will be asked to select a security question and enter an answer to it that will be used to recover the password in case, you forget it.
  7. Mobile number: Insert your mobile number along with the country code that you can see in the drop-down list as you click the box to enter the country code. You cannot insert the mobile number that has already been associated with another Rediffmail account.
  8. Provide your date of birth from the drop-down list.
