KI 2255 Creating good passwords

  • Create a password that is easy to remember but difficult to guess.
  • We recommend that you create your password as a sentence.
  • You are welcome to use spaces and more words.
  • If you want, you can use numbers, special characters and lowercase and uppercase letters.
  • New passwords should not be too similar to previous passwords, nor should they contain your name or username.
  • Change passwords periodically - the university reminds you when it's time.
  • Feel free to use a password manager service to take care of passwords.
