Password

A password is a code or word used to gain access to restricted data on a computer network. While passwords provide security against unauthorized users, the security system can only confirm that the password is legitimate, not whether the user is authorized to use the password. That's why it is important to safeguard passwords:
• Never disclose your password.
• Devise a password that consists of letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Change your password frequently.
