Tips for managing password security
To help ensure a secure operating environment, observe the following recommendations when selecting the
password settings:
● Create unique usernames/passwords for each user.
● Do not create a common username/password to be shared by all employees.
● Require that passwords be changed at regular intervals, such as every 45 days.
● Do not allow users to write their password on a piece of paper and attach it to their monitor or leave it where
it can be easily found, such as under the keyboard.
● Remove user accounts for individuals who no longer require access or no longer work at the facility.
● Require that users create a robust/complex password.
– Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and special characters.
– Use a minimum of 8 characters for a user account and a minimum of 12 characters for privileged
accounts.
