September 14, 2007 - What's In A Password?  Tips For Making Yours Safe And Easy To Remember

Product(s): General Information

 

Like other secure systems, Office-Logic requires users to enter a user ID and password to gain access. Passwords protect your account and your information. So what’s in a password? Is it really secure? Could someone easily guess yours?

 

To change your password in Office-Logic Groupware, log in and select User/Group Maintenance. Then select Password from the top menu. Then select User. Enter your old password, your new password, and confirm your new password. Click OK

A secure password consists of a string as reasonably long as the system will allow (Office-Logic allows 10), consisting of characters selected from all those allowed by the system and in a manner that provides no redundancy – in other words, totally random selection. But we do have to be able to remember our password. 

 Tips for choosing a strong password you can remember include the following:

  • Use a mix of characters (alpha and numeric).

  • Do not use a word found in the dictionary.

  • Change your password from time to time and never share your password with anyone.

  • Use the first letters of a phrase that is easy for you to remember. For example, “My favorite vacation was Orlando in 04” (MfvwOi04) or “My daughter Stephanie is 14 years old” (MdSi14yo).

  • Write it on a piece of paper – but be sure to keep the piece of paper in a secure place, such as the back of your wallet or purse. Once you can remember the password, destroy the piece of paper you wrote it on.
