This site will soon be migrating to:

There, you will simply use your school username and password to log in - no need to remember anything special.

A very bright friend of mine (who combined being Head of Science in a very good girls' school with running DofE Gold expeditions) says;
I use a long password of random characters that I can remember. But when asked to change the password I change one character. Then I go back in and change it back!! So effectively it stays the same.
I think a long random password that uses a full range of characters is much safer than a short one that is changed regularly - especially if it now gets written down.
I also did some thinking about passwords for other websites - what with banks etc I have some 50 separate accounts. I can probably remember about 10 of them.
Writing them all down on paper is probably the least secure, and a big problem if you lose the paper!
Using the same short password is easily hackable.
My solution is to remember one long random password, and to save all the passwords in a spreadsheet that is encrypted with the password.
The password file is then named so as to appear innocuous amongst the other files. You could change the file ending to .jpg so that it appears as a corrupt image, and change it back when you want to open it. The file is also copied to a micro memory card, along with electronic copies of important documents, and stays on me when I travel. (passport, birth certificate, licence, credit cards etc)
This gives me a recovery route if computer is stolen, house burns down, etc. and if my pocket gets picked I have a backup, and probably time to change passwords before anyone realises what is on the card and I doubt if they would take the trouble to try and decrypt a corrupt file." |
