Iscte User Account

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.

    • Passwords must be confidential.
    • Do not keep passwords on paper or in visible places.
    • Change passwords regularly, even on systems that do not require you to do so.
    • Do not save automatically in systems (e.g. browsers).
    • Don’t use the same passwords in academic and personal contexts.
    • To create a secure password, think of an easy-to-remember phrase and then define a method for turning that phrase into a password.

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).
