They should not be words found in the dictionary or other identifiable phrases. To safeguard any password, don’t share it or leave it where anyone else could find it; don’t let others look over your shoulder as you type it; and change it at least once per quarter.

    It is a good idea to change your password regularly to help protect the integrity of the campus Internet and your network privileges. Start here to change the password associated with your OSU Internet Username, then choose the Change password tab. Contact the OIT Technology Support Center at 8help@osu.edu or 688-HELP for assistance. If accepted, your new password should go into effect in about one hour.
