Why do I have to change my MyID password to a “strong” password?
Cyberspace is an environment in which there are ever-increasing risks to institutional data and resources. We are also individually at risk to identity theft. The UGA MyID is being used increasingly as the method of authentication to resources that would potentially give an unscrupulous person access to critical institutional resources. Therefore, the UGA password policy was unanimously approved by the University Cabinet and requires that all UGA MyIDs must have a strong password by February 1, 2007.
