1 February 2018 - Change Your Password Day  [31.01.18]

We would ask you to review your current passwords against the following important criteria with today’s “Change Your Password Day”:

• Every password is complex.
• Every password is long.
• Every password is random.
• No password should be known to unauthorised third parties.
• There is a password that meets the above requirements for every access used.

So make the most of today and change your password. You’ll find more hints and ideas about password security on the IT Security websites.

By the way: it sounds a simple matter to use the same password for multiple services – and it is. But this will lead to a password that has become known being misused in all systems.

IT Security would be happy to advise you by email to support you with the above criteria (itsec@uni-hohenheim.de) – or attend the seminar in german language “Gute und sichere Passwörter sind möglich/Good and secure passwords are possible” on Wednesday 23 May 2018 from 2:00 - 3:30 pm in the Multimedia Room in the Alte Botanik (Kirchnerstr. 5, 2nd Floor).
