Choosing a password that is right for you

• You shouldn't use a password you have used on other sites or services for your Aberystwyth University account.
• To create a strong password use three random words and add in some numbers and/or symbols
  For example:- downswalkday20
• Use words that are memorable to you
• Avoid using words that others could easily guess at. For example, names of any of your family, pets, house etc; your place of birth, a favourite holiday destination or something related to your favourite sports team.
