Protect Your Password

In a networked environment, your identity is protected by the combination of your logon-id and password. In the developing campus environment, your identity determines what services you will be able to access.

If someone obtains your password, they can use your accounts, access any services you are entitled to use, send email in your name, pass your password on to others to use, and much more.

Protect your password by taking the following steps:

  • Use a difficult-to-guess password
  • Do not share your password with anyone
  • Change your password regularly
  • Report any evidence that someone knows your password and has used your accounts
