SECURITY GUIDE
Passwords and Password Etiquette
1. Here is a line from Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “Tomorrow and tomorrow and
tomorrow, creeps in its petty pace.” Explain how to use these lines to create a
password. How could you add numbers and special characters to the password in a
way that you will be able to remember?
There are several correct ways to create a password from this line. One way might be
to take the first letters from each word. The password would then be “tatatciipp.” You
could then capitalize a couple of the letters and add in a special character or numbers.
The resulting password could be “T&2morrow&tciiPP.” This would be a very secure
password.
2. List two different phrases that you can use to create a strong password. Show the
password created by each.
There will be many correct answers to this question. Using a passphrase to create a
password is done by using the first letters in the phrase, then changing some of the
letters by substituting in special characters, numbers, or changes of case. For
example, the phrase, “I never count my chickens before the eggs have hatched!”
could create the password “iNcmCHKNSb4t3ggsHH!” This would be a great
password.
3. One of the problems of life in the cyberworld is that we all are required to have
multiple passwords—one for work or school, one for bank accounts, another for eBay
or other auction sites, and so forth. Of course, it is better to use different passwords
for each. But in that case, you have to remember three or four different passwords.
Think of different phrases you can use to create a memorable, strong password for
each of these different accounts. Relate the phrase to the purpose of the account.
Show the passwords for each.
There will be many correct answers to this question. For example, a passphrase for a
university account may look something like, “I will graduate from state university
before 2020 or bust!” This could yield a password that would look like
“IwgfSUb42020ORB!”
4. Explain proper behavior when you are using your computer and you need to enter,
for some valid reason, another person’s password.
