Password Management Best Practices
You should always change any default passwords to strong passwords to protect your computer
and data. A strong password is one that cannot be easily guessed by others and is often referred to
as a complex password.

To create a strong password:
• Use at least seven characters.
• Use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
• If you are replacing a previously created password, make sure that your new password is
significantly different from the last one.
• Do not use common words, your name, your user name, or other words that people might
associate with you, such as a pet's name.
• A password is your access to your computer, and it should be protected so that the information on
your computer is safe and inaccessible to others.
To protect your password, make sure that you:
• Do not write it down or share it with others.
• Do not use your network password for other purposes.
• If you are a computer administrator, create a new administrator account other than the normal
login for security purposes.
• Do not re-use passwords.
• Change your password at least every 60 to 90 days, especially if your account is not configured so
that the password expires automatically.
• Always use password protection whenever you're given the option.
• Change your password if you suspect that it has been compromised.
• Do not save your password on the computer.
