Password Creation:
When creating a password there are a few tips that can make your password more secure and easier to remember.
Passwords should be at least 8 characters. They should be a combination of number, letters and special characters.
Phrases are the best type of password, they are more memorable and generally longer that 8 characters.
For instance your Skyward password could be "What1sMyGrade?"
Using numbers for certain letters helps put numbers into your password. In the above example the number 1 was used for the letter I. The phrase is memorable because it has to do with the site you are accessing.
