Account Management Update
In this update, we have updated the look and feel of Brandeis Account Management, added optional enhanced mail filtering and changed password requirements.
New style
Brandeis Account Management now matches the ITS website. Text was shortened and clarified. The reorganized menu now shows all available tools.Enhanced password security
We now use a tool for measuring password strength called zxcvbn. No more complexity requirements (e.g., upper case, special characters)! In a nutshell, password length is the most important factor. Learn more from the USENIX presentation page for zxcvbn.
