Password Tips

1. The best password are easily remembered by you, but not easily guessed by anyone else.

2. Use alpha-numeric combinations of 6-8 characters, meaning at least one number or letter.*

3. Create your own acronym using your favorite song or movie.
For example: "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" combined with your high school graduation year or last four digits of your home phone would produce iltttwts98 or iltttwts7743.

4. Remember, pAssWorDs are case sensitive!

5. For optimal security, change your password at least every 90 days.

* eIRB and Titanium users must adhere to the following restrictions when selecting a password: Passwords must have at least one capital letter, at least one lowercase letter, at least one number, be a minimum of six total characters, not include your full first or last name, and not be any of the previous five passwords used.
