As a general rule PWPSD IT is not a fan of shared accounts, or groupings of accounts that share a password. In most cases we are not likely to set that up as this sort of setup invites malicious uses, accidental security holes, and sometimes confusion. A password should be unique for each account.

There are many ways to change it but going to the change password link on the staff resources section of our main site is one way https://www.pwpsd.ca/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1100555&type=d&pREC_ID=1372656 .

 A PWPSD password must be ‘complex’. That means that it should contain at least 3 of the 4 following types of characters, and be at least 6 characters long (8 or more is better)

  1. Lower case letters (abcde)

  2. Upper case letters (ABCDE)

  3. Numbers (12345)

  4. Symbols, such as (%@$#!)

 Passwords cannot contain any portion of your username or actual name.
