Password requirement change
The easiest way to protect your accounts and data is to use strong, long passwords or passphrases. A weak password can allow hackers to infect your computer, access your personal information, or send spam from your email account. Due to the ease of cracking even the most difficult 8-character password, the University has decided to increase the minimum password length to 14 characters.
This year’s “Move-Out Cleanout,” hosted by Facilities Team Green in partnership with Residential Life, the Food Pantry, Mt.
