SIIC assigns user accounts to Iscte community.
A user account is a collection of settings and information that defines a user on a computer system. Here are some key points about user accounts:
-
- Unique Identification: Each user account has a unique username and password that allows the user to log in and access their personalized settings, files, and applications.
- Types of Accounts
- Administrator Accounts: Have full control over the system, including installing software and changing settings.
- Standard Accounts: Have limited permissions, suitable for everyday tasks.
- Guest Accounts: Temporary accounts with very limited access.
- Customization: User accounts allow for personalized settings, such as desktop backgrounds, browser favorites, and application preferences.
- Security: Helps keep data private and secure by ensuring that only authorized users can access certain files and settings.

For example:
Phrase: how to set a secure password in 2024!
Method: first letter of each word, third word in capitals, use only the last two digits of numbers and keep special characters.
Password: htSETasp24! (Do not use this example).
