Password Policy
1. Length, Content, and Complexity
Passwords are required to be at least 12 characters in length.
2. Password Etiquette
Employees must protect all system passwords, along with voicemail pin numbers, and
email account passwords at all times. Individual passwords must NOT be shared with
others. Users must NEVER access any computer system using another user's account or
password. Users must be assigned a unique user id making them individually identifiable
before allowing them access to system components.
3. Lost Passwords
In the event of lost or forgotten password, the affected user must verbally, and in person,
request that the account password be reset. System administrators must verify a user's
identification prior to resetting accounts and must NEVER act upon e-mail requests, or
telephone requests, to reset a user account without proper verification of the user's
identity.
4. User Responsibilities
Employees must maintain the confidentiality of their system passwords and must notify
management upon a suspected password leak.
5. Default passwords
In any circumstances, try to use non default passwords e.g admin - admin
