For our second October Tech Tip post during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we would like to review what makes a good password.
Library and Information Technology Services defines a good password as one that:
- is of reasonable length (at least 14 characters)
- has some complexity
- is memorable
- is unique from other passwords
- is not easily found
- is changed at least once a year.
Evaluate how secure your password is and see how long it would take a computer to crack your password! How well did your password score?
