Explanation:
Passwords are the first defensive line in protecting your data and information. Your users need to be made
aware of what a password provides them and what can be done with their password. They also need to be
made aware of the things that make up a good password versus a bad password. A good password has mixedcase alphabetic characters, numbers, and symbols. Do use a password that is at least eight or more
characters. You may want to run a “”password cracker”” program periodically, and require users to immediately
change any easily cracked passwords. In any case ask them to change their passwords every 90 to 120 days.
