 4. CWRU Network ID Passphrase


CWRU NETWORK ID PASSPHRASE

Passphrases are created upon the activation of the CWRU Network ID.  Passphrases
expire after 365 days, except if the user is enrolled in multifactor
authentication using Duo Security. You will receive email notifications prior to
your passphrase's expiration date. Prior to your passphrase's expiration date,
it can be changed. If you forget your passphrase, it can be reset at the
passphrase reset page.

IMPORTANT: CWRU will never ask for your passphrase via email. If you receive an
email asking for your CWRU Network ID passphrase, it is a phishing email meant
to steal your credentials. NEVER give out your CWRU Network ID passphrase!


CWRU PASSPHRASE REQUIREMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

 * May not reuse current or previous 4 passphrases
 * Minimum acceptable character length of 12
 * Maximum acceptable character length of 32
 * Minimum complexity is required to ensure passphrases will be strong, as
   indicated by a “green” score on the passphrase meter display during the
   creation of a passphrase


WHAT IS A CWRU PASSPHRASE:

A passphrase is a sentence-like string of words, spaces and/or symbols used for
authentication that is longer than a traditional password, easy to remember and
difficult to crack.


WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR PASSPHRASE:


LENGTH

A passphrase must have a minimum of 12 characters and no more than 32 characters


COMPLEXITY

A passphrase must achieve a minimum complexity rating before it will be
considered strong enough. The complexity of a passphrase is calculated during
its creation. A passphrase will not be accepted if it has not obtained a minimum
complexity rating. Note that it is the randomness of the characters and words
and NOT the complexity of the concept within the passphrase which makes it
complex. 

The minimum complexity score can be penalized if a passphrase includes the
user's ID, first or last name; or other common words (such as: CWRU, CASE,
Western, Reserve, password, computer, etc). These words are not illegal, but
will require more effort (using different words and/or symbols, make it longer,
doing character substitution) to ensure the passphrase meets the minimum
complexity rules to ensure it is strong. 


CHARACTER SUBSTITUTION

Character substitution can be used to help make a passphrase more complex. Use a
combination of letters and symbols that look similar and don't forget that you
can press the shift key to get something different.

Examples of character substitutions:

 * s=S=$
 * l=L=1=!
 * e=E=3=#
 * o=O=0=)

Example passphrase with character substitution:

 * Simple (status: BAD): 
   * Five expensive clowns
 * With character substitution (Status: Excellent): 
   * 5ive ex?en$ive (lowns


EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTABLE PASSPHRASES:

NOTE: Do not use these examples for your own passphrase

 * correct horse battery staple
 * ! am gr8 @ p33ling apple$
 * Hens crossed the ro8d 
 * Jazz hands chap easily
 * I h8t passphrases so much
 * *2523LLbank@LYZeeRiver

 During the period that users are enrolled in CWRU Duo Security two-factor
authentication system, they will no longer need to change their login
passphrases annually.
