Password Security

Passwords are an important aspect of computer security. They are the front line of protection for user accounts. Passwords can preserve the confidentiality of password-protected data and are the sole property of account holders. As such, all California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) BeachID accounts, including contractors and vendors with access to CSULB systems, are responsible for taking the appropriate steps, as outlined below, to select and secure their passwords. Password Standard applies to all applications that access level 1 and/or level 2 data. This applies to all CSULB, Auxiliary organizations, and third party vendor products used for University business.
