Password Security

• YOUR password is YOUR responsibility.
• Passwords must be at least 14 characters long. Longer passwords (12 or more characters) are the most secure.
• Passwords may not contain your name, the word "password", or the percent % or bracket [] characters nor the at @ symbol.
• Including symbols and numbers can make passwords harder to guess.
• It is trivial for computers to crack short passwords regardless what characters are used.
• Cybercrime is frequently conducted from ordinary user accounts, don't let yours be one of them.
