Passwords

This is a general page to explain the various passwords that may be associated with a service from AAISP, where they are used and how to change them.

When changing passwords always be sure to use a secure password! Most of our systems have a 'Generate Password' button which you can use if you wish. The Information Pack contains some of your account details.

Generally, when the 'systems' automatically generate a password they are based on xkcd.com/936
