How do I recover my password?
- Passwords must be confidential.
- Do not store passwords on visible papers or locations.
- Regularly change your password even on systems that don’t require you to do so.
- Do not automatically record on systems (e.g. browsers).
- Do not use the same passwords in an academic context and in a personal context.
- To create a secure password think of an easy-to-remember phrase and then define a method to turn that phrase into a password.

Method: first letter of each word, third word in letters, use only the last two digits of numbers and keep special characters.
Password: htSETaspi20! (Do not use this example).
