How to Change Your Password & TTSD Password Change Policy for Staff
In order to improve the security of various systems, we have implemented a password change policy that will require you to change your password every 180 days. We will send email reminders 30, 15, and 7 days before your password expires, so you can change your password before then. It cannot be a password you have used in the past 5 password changes,
Best Practices for Creating & Managing Secure Passwords:
- Use a minimum of 12-16 characters- long passwords are more secure
-
Use Pass Phrases: Create a passphrase using a series of random words or a sentence that is easy to remember but hard to guess (e.g., "HorseBatteryStaple$56!")
-
Password Managers:Use a reputable password manager to store and manage your passwords securely. Password managers can generate complex passwords and remember them for you.
Ensure the master password for your password manager is extremely strong and unique.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable two-factor authentication on all accounts that support it. This adds an additional layer of security by requiring a second form of verification.
