Case Password Basic Requirements
|
- Passwords must be at least eight characters in
length.
- They must include elements from at least three
of the following four categories:
- uppercase letters
- lowercase letters
- numerals
- punctuation
- For Active Directory Users (you selected the
Synchronization check box), your password cannot contain any three
sequential letters of your first or last name or your Case ID.
- Be creative and careful when selecting a
password. Don’t use anything that can be easily guessed or identified
with you, including personal information such as the names of your
family members, including pet, hobbies, address, birthday, or commonly
used words and phrases.
- Never use your social security number as a
password.
- Don’t include your name and user id in any
password.
- One technique for selecting and remembering a
password is to pick a phrase you find significant. Then, construct a
password using any letter from each of the words in the phrase. Add a
numeral or punctuation to the mix.
- Passwords should be changed whenever you
believe their confidentiality has been compromised (e.g. shoulder
surfing, your responded to a phishing email, etc.)
- Passwords must not be shared, posted, written
down, or recycled.
- Ideally, passwords should be unique for each of
the different services to which you subscribe. Pick a different
password for your banking accounts, credit cards, Case network
services, AOL, AIM, etc.
- Do not include your password in an automated
logon process. Make the extra effort to type it in each time.
- Passwords are also required for logging onto
laptops and mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones, Blackberries, iPhones,
and PDAs) to protect Case information on these devices.
