Many of you often have difficulties picking appropriate passwords.  Here are some guidelines to help out:


  • Passwords must be AT LEAST 8 characters long.
  • Passwords must have at least one capital, one lower case, and one number.
  • Passwords MAY contain symbols and punctuation.
  • You CANNOT  include your name and you may not reuse old passwords.
  • A phrase, favorite food, pet name, or song lyric can often make an easy to remember password.
  • You should change your password every month or two, in Google, Citrix, and other systems as appropriate.


Also, don't forget to keep your password safe.
