Learn About creating good password security.

An IT Security consultant has made three primary recommendations regarding passwords:

1. Prohibit guessable passwords
   • such as common names, real words, numbers only
   • require special characters and a mix of caps, lower case and numbers in passwords
2. Reauthenticate before changing passwords
   • user must enter old pw before creating new one
3. Make authenticators unforgeable 
   • do not allow email or user ID as password
