Treat your password like your toothbrush: choose a good one, change it regularly, and don’t share it.
Your UCInetID is your gateway to online services at UCI. Like a skeleton key, it serves as your single credential for most network services on campus. Use of a UCInetID and password by anyone other than the owner can result in exploitation of UCI resources, loss of personal and university information, and other potentially severe consequences.
You are responsible for anything done with your UCInetID. Keep your UCInetID password to yourself. Don’t share it, don’t keep it in a computer file, and don’t write it down.
IT security is a responsibility we all share. Many cyber-security breaches begin with an innocent but incautious act. Let’s all keep UCI safe.
