Students’ Usernames and Passwords (Teacher Use Only)This describes the format for students’ usernames and passwords for the computer network. Please let your studentsknow that this is the format for their username:In order to enhance overall network security, a “strong” password policy is in place that makes it difficult to compromisethe system. This policy requires that passwords be 8 or more characters in length and contain characters from three ofthe four character groups listed below:1) Uppercase letters (A-Z) 3) Numerals (0-9)2) Lowercase letters (a-z) 4) Special characters (!@#$%^&*)A valid password can contain, for example, one or more uppercase letters, one or more lowercase letters and one ormore numbers. It can also contain one or more uppercase letters, one or more lowercase letters and one or morespecial characters such as ! or #. You can use any combination of characters as long as there is one character from threeof the four groups mentioned above.Examples: • Use @ in place of Aa • Use 1 in place of Ii or Ll • Use ! in place of Ii or Ll • Use 0 (zero) in place of OoIn addition, no part of your username may be used in the password. Some examples of INVALID passwords would be(assuming your login name is johnsmith): 1) Jsmith1 3) 080452 2) John1 4) abc123You will also be prompted to change your password at various intervals during the year.
