Selecting Strong Passwords

Make it as difficult as possible for anyone to make an educated guess about your password, while making it simple to remember without writing it on paper.

  • Do not use your or any family member's name, nickname, or initials in any form.
  • Do not use your user ID in any form.
  • Do not use other information that can be easily obtained about you. This includes birth dates, telephone numbers, license plate numbers, or Social Security numbers.
  • Do not use all the same character (i.e., 55555) or consecutive keys on a keyboard (i.e., QWERTY).
  • Do not use words that would appear in a dictionary as they can be easily compromised by password cracking programs that employ electronic dictionaries.
