Why have good passwords?
The combination of your username and password uniquely identifies you to the Health Science Center network. They are required to log on to your computer, access your e-mail, visit certain University web sites, and other University resources, and all network activity is routed with them. A good, strong password keeps anyone else from logging on to the network with your username and impersonating you. If this happens, it appears that any harm, misuse, abuse, and/or impropriety is being caused by YOU, not the intruder, since it’s your username and password which are being used to access the network; the same goes for e-mail sent out in your name. Remember, pick a good password and protect it. Never share it with anyone.
