SecureNU

Your myNEU password MUST contain:

• Minimum of 10 characters
• One uppercase character
• One lowercase character
• One numeric character
• One special character

Passwords may NOT contain:

• NUID
• First name
• Last name
• Full name
• myNEU username
• myNEU email address

Pro Tip:  Longer passwords are better than complex short passwords. 

Create long passwords from common words that are easy to remember but hard for a computer to guess.

For example: Black.cats.are.bad.luck.4.me!

For example: Redsoxmixerfoxrider6#

This phrase is easy to remember but will take a computer an unreasonable amount of time to guess.

(Do not use this example – now that it’s posted on the Internet, you can bet thieves will try to use it to access a myNEU account!)
