17*7f2fe78bSCy SchubertKerberos offers strong and reliable security for computers and network systems that use it for authentication, but  it is only as secure as the password you choose. A weak password can jeopardize not only your privacy and information, but also any computers or networks that you access with that password.</P>

46*7f2fe78bSCy Schubert<p>
47*7f2fe78bSCy SchubertCreate a strong password that is not a word found in the dictionary or based on easily available information about yourself. Usually the easiest way to do that is to start with a phrase, not a word.
48*7f2fe78bSCy SchubertFor best security choose a unique password that you have not used with any other application. That way if one application is somehow hacked or compromised, the damage is limited to that application. <br>

52*7f2fe78bSCy Schubert<p>
53*7f2fe78bSCy Schubert If you ever suspect that your password has been compromised, change it immediately. It's a good idea to occasionally change your password even if you think it is still secure. This habit can limit the damage if your password is compromised without your knowledge.</P>
