Passwords

A pre-created account password is given to each new faculty and staff member. This password allows you access to your law school account for the first time. Although we do not require you to change your password at set intervals, we strongly suggest that you change your password frequently (at least every three to six months) or whenever you have reason to believe your password has been compromised (meaning someone else might know your password).

When creating a new password, keep in mind that the most secure passwords consist of a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Replacing letters with numbers, for example replace o with 0 or i and 1 is a good method for creating more secure passwords. Also, consider creating password phrases instead of just single passwords.
