Creating strong password

Strong passwords don’t have to be hard to memorize. Try using the first letter of a phrase.

Here’s an example: I like 8 eggs for breakfast at University of Utah when John is sleepy

Which could become a password like: Il8efb@tUoUwJis

DO

• Use both upper and lower case, as well as numbers and symbols
• Use at least 8 characters
• Use a seemingly random set of numbers, letters, and symbols
• Change your password regularly

DO NOT:

• Use a simple dictionary word such as “hello” or “hi”
• Use personal information such as your name, telephone number, zip code, etc
• Use the same password as your username, or login
• Use names including other peoples
• Use keyboard sequences such as qwerty or asdf, 12345, 987654321, etc
• Use repeated characters such as, hihihihi or 222222, or jjjjjjj, etc
• Use a blank password
