Tips to help users remember their password

  • Choose a secure yet memorable password. Suggest that your users choose a password that is familiar to them: their first pet’s name, their father’s middle name, their favorite sports team, or a combination of these. However, discourage them from using words such as “password” or numeric combinations such as “123456.”
  • Avoid gibberish or bizarre character combinations. While character combinations such as “dfFe#*23” might be hard to guess, they are also difficult to remember. I know these passwords are less susceptible to brute-force attacks, but such activity can be combated in other ways, such as limits on incorrect logon attempts.
  • Don’t change the password too frequently. Users are more likely to forget a password they will only use for a short period of time. It’s not necessary to have your users change passwords every week. A good average is 90 to 120 days, and I’ve found that most users can deal with this.
  • Don’t use an excessively long password. Discourage users from using the entire alphabet or the preamble to the Constitution as a password. Depending on the system, some passwords have a maximum and minimum length. Pick something in the middle that users can remember and easily type. I’ve found that using six to eight characters works wonderfully. Users are less likely to mistype or misspell a password of this length.
  • Write the password down, but keep it in a safe place. I know this a no-no among security enthusiasts, but if all else fails, this may be the user’s only hope. This is especially true if the user has a password not easily remembered or that they seldom use. Have them write down their password and put it in their wallet or purse. Suggest they tape their password to the inside of a locked desk drawer.
