Secure passwords
Trying to choose a new password and remember it at the same time can be tricky so follow these tried and tested steps to help you out:
- Choose a password with at least 8 characters
- Use a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters such as !@£$.
- Don't use dictionary words, names of family members, friends or pets, pin numbers or dates of births.
- Replace letters in a word with numbers or symbols. For example, p@s$w0rD would be a lot more secure than just password.
- Change your passwords often and remember – if you have maintenance on your servers with us you need to inform support of the changes.
