What about password security?

It is important to have a strong password and then to keep that password secure. You'll probably know not to use obvious things for your password - so avoid your date of birth, family names and so on. View your password as a 'passphrase', take 3-5 unconnected words and put them together, add some numbers, capitalisations and special characters to increase the complexity. Follow the additional tips we give next to the form for password updates. We may require your new password to contain special characters and be longer then a specific length. Memorise it. Don't write it down or give it to others. Do not reuse the same password for your email.
