What is a safe password?
A password is only secure if you are the only person who knows it and if it is difficult for other people to guess.
Choose a password you can remember readily, but which won't be so easy for others to find out. Under no circumstances should you choose something you’d find in the dictionary: create an artificial word that only you know.
- Your PARSHIP password can be between 4 and 12 characters in length. The longer it is, the safer it is.
- Use upper and lower case letters and also digits (in a random sequence)
- If you have been a PARSHIP member for some time, you might also have a username. Your password should not be identical to this.
Examples of bad passwords: Sunflower; parship2008; JamesBond
Example of a good password: Mmbio19Nov (mnemonic : ʺMy mother’s birthday is on 19th November.ʺ)
Why this is important
Anyone who chooses an obvious password, runs a security risk: an unauthorised third person could guess it through simple trial and error. This would appear to be legitimate to the system and PARSHIP would be unable to do anything about it.
