Note on Passwords

Make passwords secure as possible to keep unwanted parties out of your accounts. There are multiple resources available online to help with this topic.

Strong passwords

  1. At least 8 characters—the more characters, the better
  2. A mixture of both uppercase and lowercase letters
  3. A mixture of letters and numbers
  4. Inclusion of at least one special character, e.g., ! @ # ? ]
  5. Note: do not use < or > in your password, as both can cause problems in Web browsers

Keep password secure

  1. Change it regularly—once every three to six months.
  2. Change it if you have the slightest suspicion that the password has become known by a human or a machine.
  3. Never use it for other websites.
  4. Avoid typing it on computers that you do not trust; for example, in an Internet café.
  5. Never save it for a web form on a computer that you do not control or that is used by more than one person.
  6. Never tell it to anyone.
  7. Never write it down.

Creating Strong Passwords

Think of a word or phrase, and then substitute the letters with numbers and special characters and mix the case. For example:

  1. Snoopy and Woodstock becomes Sno0py&ws
  2. In the dog house becomes !nTh3dawgHs
  3. Let’s have dinner at 8:00 p.m. becomes Lhd@800pm
  4. Think of a word and a number, then intermix them and mix the case. For example, your elementary school name (Main Street Elementary) and your pet’s birth month and year (12/96) becomes m1A2/i9n6
