The following are general recommendations for creating a Strong Password:

A Strong Password should–

• Be at least 12 characters in length

• Contain both upper and lowercase alphabetic characters (e.g. A-Z, a-z)

• Have at least one numerical character (e.g. 0-9)

• Have at least one special character (e.g. @, #, $, %, ^)

A Strong Password should not –

• Spell a word or series of words that can be found in a standard dictionary

• Be based on any personal information such as user id, family name, pet, birthday, etc.

The following are several recommendations for maintaining a Strong Password:

• Change your password upon indication of compromise

• Consider using a passphrase instead of a password

• Do not write your password down or store it in an insecure manner

• Avoid reusing a password

• Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts

• Do not use automatic logon functionality
