User identification is the process by which an individual identifies himself
to the system as a user. The system authenticates the user through his password
and determines his right to use the system. Here are some key points to keep
in mind when creating passwords: Memorize your password. Dont write
down or share passwords. Choose a password that is easy to remember, hard
to guess, and uses a mixture of letters, numbers, and special characters.
Dont use personal information like the names or birthdays of family
members, pets, or the name of your favorite sports team. Avoid using words
or phrases that can be found in a dictionary. Change your password on a regular
basis. Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure that all activity done
under your user ID constitutes appropriate use of your organizations
information systems resources.
