Now that all accounts can be accessed using the same username and password it is important that your password be strong enough so that it can't be cracked. Here are a few tips you can use to create a new password:
•If you have a favorite word that you like to use, try adding numbers, characters and capital letters. Your password will still be easy to remember but harder for a hacker to crack.
•Pass phrases also make good passwords. For example, "Goucher's Mascot is Mortimer the Gopher" could be a phrase turned into a password like "G'sm!Mtg."
•Make the password at least 8 characters long. The longer the password the more difficult it is to crack.
•Reset it to something other than your student ID number.
