Password Management
Passwords are an important part of computer security at Troy University. They often serve as the first line of defense in preventing unauthorized access to university computers and data. Because of this, it is important to choose passwords that are complex enough to prevent others from guessing them. It is also important to keep passwords secure so they cannot be seen by others.
These standards are intended to provide information and guidance about how to create good, ambiguous passwords and how to keep them secure and confidential.
