PASSWORD POLICY
Dear account holders,

DO NOT

• choose a word, in any language
• use personal information such as your name, girlfriend/boyfriend/pet's name, make of car, etc.
• use only lower case letters
• tell anyone your password
• use the password you were given when you first got your account on the system

DO

• choose an obscure password preferably between 6 and 8 characters in length, of mixed case and containing at least one numeric character in the middle of the password and/or one non-alphanumeric character such as (!, @, =, ,, +, -, :, etc.).

A good way to compose an easy-to-remember, but difficult to exploit password is to think of a line from a song or poem and use the first letter of each word. (But don't forget to include a number or non-alphanumeric character!)

Thanks for your cooperation.

Department Staff.
