Advice for setting up a strong password
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) confirms that a strong password will:
- Be long (at least 8 characters);
- Include a range of characters, such as:
- Uppercase and lowercase letters
- Numbers
- Punctuation marks
- Other symbols
- Not contain dictionary words, where possible;
- Not include simple substitutions of characters, e.g. "p4$$w0rd";
- Not include patterns derived from the keyboard layout, e.g. "qwerty".
We advise all parents to use strong passwords to protect the confidential personal information contained within MCAS. Parents should also avoid using obvious choices of passwords, such as the name of your child or pet, as someone could find such information elsewhere.
Do not share passwords – Never disclose your password to another individual, whether this be a family member or other individual, for any reason. If you think that someone else knows your password, change it immediately.
