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.
