When the user or their Internet Service Provider (ISP) changes the e-mail account password, e-mail address, or e-mail server address, the user must change their account information in. To help keep the system secure, one should regularly change the password. Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better.
