General Tips 

• The longer the password, the more secure it will be. Augsburg passwords should be at least 8 characters long.
• Avoid using passwords that include your date of birth, graduation year(s), name, or parts of your name. This information is easily searchable, so you should avoid using it.
• Have a password that includes at least three of the following: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, symbols.

Compromised Accounts 

• If you feel that your account has been compromised, change the password immediately. 
• Update your security questions.
• Let your contacts know that your account may have sent out a malicious email or other fake content. People should delete it without opening it. 
• If it is your Augsburg account and you clicked on an spam or virus email, let IT know as soon as possible.
