Passwords...Keys to Information Security  

Every account that Information Technology and Services (ITS) issues is comprised of a userid (or logon id) and a password. Passwords are intended to help prevent unauthorized access to your account and may not be shared. To keep the account secure from unauthorized access, the account owner must keep the password secret, change the password often, and report to ITS if anyone is using the account without permission.

For more information about policies governing the use of computer accounts at Syracuse University, please refer to the Computing and Electronic Communications Policy.
