Important Password Security Note

A password is a string of characters you give to verify that you are you when you log onto a computer system. Passwords are an important first line of defence in protection of any computer system. On most systems, a password is between 6 and 8 characters long and includes upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.

You must use strong passwords! Hackers use special cracking programs that can launch dictionaries to try and match your passwords in mere seconds. Weak passwords will be quickly guessed while strong passwords may never be guessed.

How to choose strong password? Here are some important rules:

• Passwords must contain at least eight non-blank characters.
• Passwords must contain a combination of letters (preferably a mixture of upper and lowercase letters), numbers and/or special characters.
• Password should not include the username.
• Passwords should not include well known names or identification numbers.
• Do not use Birthdays or Social Security numbers.
• Passwords may not include common words from an English dictionary or foreign-language dictionary.
• Passwords may not contain commonly used proper names, including the name of any fictional character or place.
• When a password is reset, it must not duplicate the previous password.
