General recommendations for good password management are:

Implement company policy to regularly update all system passwords
•
Regularly change passwords
•
Avoid the use of simple passwords such as 12345678, 11111111, 00000000, etc.
•
Never use a word from the everyday language. Attackers can use special dictionary cracking
software to retrieve these
•
Never use a word that is closely related to you:

Your company name

Your name

Your wife's maiden name
•
The name of your children or your pet
•
Your favourite hobby, etc.
•
Use a different password for each connection level
•
Do not disclose passwords to other persons/colleagues
•
Never write down your password. The first thing an attacker will do is rummage through your
personal belongings.
