Why do I have to change my password every 90 days?

Within the Government of the Northwest Territories, we are trying to follow “best practices” in terms of safety of information.  As human resource information is considered sensitive, we focus on protecting that data.  Safety features include:

  • length of password
  • changing passwords regularly
  • limiting the number of unsuccessful logon attempts
  • limiting the time of inactivity

Similar protections are in place within the Technology Services Centre for your network and mail access.
