Password Best Practices

Overview One of the most overlooked areas of network security is the use of "good" passwords. Extreme care should be taken in choosing the password. If the password is easy to guess, someone may be able to access or steal the data, money, or the identity. To protect the data and the network, one must select good passwords and secure them carefully. Users are responsible for assisting in the protection of the systems they use. As an Internet security measure, computer and network passwords should be changed regularly. Additionally, the use of different passwords for different systems is recommended so that if an intruder cracks one password and gets into one computer, that same password won't automatically allow access to other systems.
