Password tips

Don't use:

space bar
previous 13 passwords
banned characters (e.g. £ : or | )
your username or surname

Create stronger passwords:

longer passwords are harder to crack
avoid easily guessable data like your surname, username, dates and numeric sequences
avoid simple dictionary words by themselves, even with character substitutions
you can try using a memorable phrase, such as “myfavouritemovieisstarwars” and then substitute some characters: “myf@vour1temov1e1sSta@rWars”
never share or write down your password:
contact helpdesk if you need to share data.
