How often will I have to change passwords?
Having a strong password can eliminate how often you need to change your password. However we recommend you update your password at least once a year.
Hosted email customers, you will be required to update your password once a year. You will be notified by email 14 days prior.
What is a GOOD password?
XMission cares about the security of your account. A good password should be between 12 - 128 characters in length. Do not to use anything that someone could guess such as your license plate number, proper names, birthdate, previously used passwords, simple words that are commonly used together, or any elements of your account name.
It is recommended that you use 3 or more words, 5 characters or more to make an easy-to-remember, but hard-to-crack password. For example:
- unruly-noisemaker59Studebaker
- Revamp!2discount-Planters
- twoclipS-included4patriots
Of course, don't use any of these examples for your own password.
Password Managers
Don't ever use the same password between services. Never re-use passwords. Never use passwords you saw online.
It is recommended that you use a password manager, like KeePass or Bitwarden to keep all your individual passwords managed and safe. Be sure to pick a lengthy, strong master password, and use multi-factor authentication if available.
