New passwords Print

You will be held responsible for any activity that is carried out using your username and password. It is very important that you don't tell anyone else your password.

If you want to change, or have forgotten, your password , you can use the MyInfo facility at https://myinfo.brighton.ac.uk

(Staff must contact their library enquiry desk if they have forgotten their password!)


What’s a good password?
When choosing a new password you should remember passwords must

  • consist of between 8 and 16 characters (letters, numbers, spaces and permitted symbols)  
  • contain at least one number or permitted symbol, eg any of 01234567689 !$%&’()*+,/;ó?[\]^`_{} 
  • contain at least one UPPERCASE letter and one lowercase letter eg Aa
  • not contain your username 
  • not start or end with a space
  • not be easy to guess by anyone who knows something about you
 

The following would not be suitable passwords:

  • warning                it contains no numbers, or uppercase letters
  • Good1?                 it contains less than eight characters
  • NOTTELLINGNE1     it does not contain a lower case letter
  • your car reg. no.    it is too easy to guess
  • abc1pass              if your username is abc1

For more information on changing your password, see Information Services document 004, Changing your computer password.
