Passwords

Consider the following for password strength and security:

• Password Managers

LastPass password manager available for Pitzer users for creating and managing unique passwords.

• Complex Passwords

Passwords with more than 15 alpha-numeric characters with upper and lower case text and symbols are recommended. Avoid short and easy to guess passwords. Do not reuse passwords. Consider using non-personal identifiable passwords or passphrases.

• Multi-factor Authentication

Use mulit-factor or 2-step authentication when available for professional and personal accounts. DUO is required for most Pitzer and Claremont College accounts for staff, faculty and students.
