Password Security
Your password is an important part of your profession, and you are the only one who can give it out. Phishing scams through email are attempts to get you to click links and provide your passwords. Definitely keep your eye open for emails marked [EXTERNAL] that are asking you for information and report any suspicious emails to the Technology Department through a tech ticket.
Did you know phishing emails are not the only way your password can be compromised though? You are the sole keeper of this information. Posting your password on your computer monitor, beside your computer on a corkboard/wall, or kept near your computer in any manner makes you a higher risk for a compromised password.
If your password is found to be compromised by being posted on/near your computer or shared with someone else you will have a password change.
Here are some tips to keep you safe:
Please DO NOT post your password at your computer.
Please DO NOT share your password with anyone else.
Substitutes and paraprofessionals should NOT be given your password. Substitutes have been given directions for logging into the computer as a GUEST. Paraprofessionals have their own login information. If a para or support member needs access to sites you use frequently in the classroom, then please submit a tech ticket requesting them to be added as a co-teacher to the site or account.
