How to choose a good password First and foremost, you should never share your password with anyone, nor should you write it down. No legitimate MIT Department, Lab or Center will ever ask you for your password, and IS&T does not need your password for any reason. Do not respond to any e-mails requesting your password or other personal information. Remember, *YOU* are assumed to be responsible for anything done using your password. A good password is something which is easy for you to remember, but that people who know you won't easily guess; so don't use your name, or your dog's name, or a word from the dictionary. Kerberos passwords must be at least 6 characters long, and must contain at least 2 character classes (such as upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation).
