The Technology department has created a helpful guide to help you create a password that meets all of the LISD Password Policy requirements. 

 

Guide

Let's start by thinking about our password as more of a “pass-phrase.” We can accomplish this by implementing the following guidelines.

  1. Think of four random words. 
    Example: tablet, brain, elevate, school
  2. Pick one word and capitalize each of its letters. This will satisfy the requirement to include at least one uppercase letter.
    Example: tablet >> TABLET
  3. Pick another word to leave as is. This will satisfy the requirement to include at least one lowercase letter.
    Example: brain >> brain
  4. Pick another word to leave as is. This will satisfy the requirement to include at least one number.
    Example: elevate >> 3l3vat3
  5. Incorporate at least one special character into one of the words. This will satisfy the requirement to use at least one special character.
    Example: school >> sc#ool
  6. Enjoy your new pass-phrase!
    Example: TABLETbrain3l3vat3sc#ool
