1. Long Is Good
Employees need to know that a short password can be very quickly compromised.This can be done by calculating the permutations based on the length of the password, as well as whether numerals and symbols are used
2. Don't Share Passwords Between Personal and Work Accounts
It is generally a very bad idea to use the same password for different accounts.However, it would be naive for an administrator to think that the typical employee would use a different password for every system that requires one
3.The Help Desk Will NEVER Ask for Your Password
This sounds almost cliche now, but the IT department should periodically remind employees that its staff will never ask for their passwords.
4. Change Your Password Anytime
When it comes to pre-empting possible breaches in security though, it's better for employees to come forward if they suspect their accounts are compromised or confidential data has been illegally accessed than to find out on the front page of the morning paper.
5.Regular Password Changes Are Necessary
Employees are also increasingly accessing their work accounts from remote locations, so users need to be educated on the necessity of changing their passwords regularly.Note, however, that there is a difference between regularly and frequently, and it is important not to overdo the frequency of changes.
