Password Reset Information
Student passwords cannot contain any part of their username or Student ID numbers. Passwords do require a minimum of 8 characters and must include a number, a capital letter, and a special character. This complexity does not require random strings of hard to remember ciphers. Instead, we should teach students strong password management skills by transitioning them to passphrases rather than passwords. For example: Ilove2eaticecream! or I<3mycat are complex, strong passphrases that are secure while being easy to remember. Passwords need to be hard for hackers, not hard for students.
