Password Tips and Usage

• No one should ask you for your password.
• Passwords should be easy for you to remember, but difficult for a person or computer to guess
• Passwords should not be written down
• Passwords should not be sent via email, instant message, or cellular phone “text message”
• Passwords should not contain words that can be found in a dictionary, or foreign words
• Passwords should not contain personal information, including birth dates, anniversary dates, license plates, phone numbers, addresses, family member names, pet names, etc
• Passwords should not contain simple transformations of words (7eleven, seven11, etc)
• Passwords should not contain sequential alphabet or keyboard information (abcdef, 654321, qwerty, etc)
• One way to select a good password is to create an easy to remember sentence, such as “I ride the train to work.” Mix in a few numbers or characters but still make it easy enough to remember. "Iridethetr@intowork!"
• If your browser automatically remembers usernames and passwords, it is a good idea to either disable this feature or enable a master password to encrypt and/or protect the saved passwords.
