Password Recommendations
It is mandatory that every account at the university have a strong password. Many of our systems enforce strong passwords as well as password expiry. Most SEEUsystems enforce the following password rules:
- Must contain at least 3 different types of characters:
- lowercase (e.g., a b c d)
- uppercase (e.g., A B C D)
- numbers (e.g., 1 2 3 4)
- special characters/symbols (e.g., ! @ #)
- Must not contain reserved/special characters (e.g., backslash '\') or spaces
- Must not be based on your first name, middle name, last name, email address, or login ID
- Must be between 8 to 30 characters in length
- Cannot be recently used or similar to a previous password (no password rotation)
Password Tips
- Mix characters (e.g., TiD23#4ad34$3r)
- Replace letters with symbols (e.g.,"T3nnis$tar")
- Use a password phrase
- Use the first letters of words in easily remembered phrases (e.g., "The cow jumps over the SEEU Tower!" becomes "TcjotST!")
- Use easily remembered phrases without spaces (e.g., "MydogFluffyis#1!")
- Do not write down your passwords (write down a tip or clue instead)
- Do not share your passwords
- Change your passwords every few months
