Do not share passwords, use default/blank passwords, or use weak passwords
Sharing of user credentials (username and password), not changing default passwords, or using blank passwords is strictly prohibited. All systems, network devices, and network applications should use unique, strong, complex, passwords. A strong password should be at least fifteen (15) characters long and should include numbers and non-alphanumeric characters. Passwords should be regularly changed and not reused.
Passwords should be changed immediately if they are accidentally exposed or suspected to be compromised. Passwords should be changed immediately on the effective date when an administrator leaves the university, or a position in the university that required use of the password.
