ENSURE SECURE PASSWORDS AND UTILIZE A PASSWORD MANAGER

Tuesday, October 17th, 2023

In the context of a higher education environment, where the scope of Stellenbosch University’s online activities continues to expand, it’s become commonplace for the average user to manage an ever-increasing number of passwords. Gone are the days when just a handful would suffice; now, we may find ourselves juggling upwards of 100 unique passwords, especially when practicing strong password security. To mitigate the challenges of remembering these numerous access codes and bolster our accounts’ security, we strongly recommend using password managers.

Our guidance and suggestions

Selecting a weak or easily guessable password is akin to locking the door but carelessly leaving the key in the lock. Malicious actors, including computer hackers, can swiftly exploit such passwords. However, the good news is that employing strong passwords constitutes one of the simplest and most effective measures to safeguard your accounts, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information, data, finances, and even your personal identity.

Enhance your passwords with the following strategies

1. Length matters: Passwords that are at least 14 characters long offer the highest level of security. This is also a requirement of the new password regulation.

2. Complexity is key: Create passwords using a random combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. If you need to remember your password, consider crafting a memorable “passphrase” comprising 5 to 7 unrelated words. Feel free to inject creativity into your spelling or incorporate numbers and symbols.

3. One for each: Ensure that each account employs a unique password.

Admittedly, it’s virtually impossible to remember long and unique passwords for the myriad accounts in our academic and personal lives. Rather than resorting to the risky practice of jotting them down or reusing weak passwords, we advocate the use of a password manager.

Password managers are designed to generate intricate and one-of-a-kind passwords on your behalf. They securely store all of these passwords in one central location and promptly alert you to instances of weak, reused, or compromised passwords. Moreover, they can automatically input your login credentials into websites and applications through a secure browser plugin. The only password you need to remember is the master password used to access the password manager itself.

(Pro Tip: Craft a memorable, lengthy “passphrase” as mentioned earlier, and never commit your master password to writing.)

Key statistics to consider

It’s worth noting that in our educational community, only 33% of individuals have adopted the practice of creating unique passwords for all their accounts. Additionally, a mere 18% have availed themselves of the security offered by a password manager. These statistics underscore the importance of promoting and implementing strong password practices and the use of password management tools within our academic environment.

User Guide: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with Google Authenticator app

Monday, October 2nd, 2023

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as an application (e.g., SUNFin and SUNStudent), an online account, or a VPN. MFA is a core component of a strong identity and access management (IAM) policy.

SU has implemented the Google Authenticator App method to authenticate with your Huawei mobile device or any other mobile device that does not have the Microsoft Authentication app available in their app store.

In this document we show you how to register your device:

Microsoft Security Update

Thursday, September 28th, 2023

The use of an authenticator application as a method to verify your identity with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is now a COMPULSARY requirement from Microsoft. 

You need to install the Microsoft Authenticator application on your Android or Apple smartphone or tablet as soon as possible.

In this PDF below is what you can expect to experience well as how to install the app when Microsoft starts the deployment.

The latest password regulations

Wednesday, September 27th, 2023

 

A lot of people still underestimate the importance of having a secure password and make the mistake of using simple words and numbers as a password. Keep in mind that your email and social media accounts contain very personal information about you. You must have a strong password to keep your personal life personal, and not become a victim of identity theft. 

Here we provide you with standards and guidelines for the creation of strong passwords, the protection of those passwords and the frequency of change. 

Password requirements

Length:

Must be at least 14 characters long
Use a passphrase like a sentence, for example Coffee1_first!

Complexity:

Use alphanumerical characters for example: C0ff33_f1rst!
At least one uppercase letter (A-Z)
At least one lowercase letter (a-z)
At least one number (0-9)
At least one special character (~!@#$%^&*()_+”:?> (leaving a space is also a character but not at the end of the passphrase)

History:

The passwords are stored in a history list keeping a record of the last 10 passwords

Age:

The minimum password age is set to 30 days

Banning:

A deny list will prevent users from using password from dictionaries, repetitive or sequential characters

User responsibility

  1. Stellenbosch University (SU) passwords must meet the requirements outlined in the requirements section
  2. SU passwords must be unique and different from other personal services
  3. SU passwords must be changed and the request to change will be by the system
  4. SU passwords may not be shared
  5. SU passwords must never be written down

Reset options

Self-service Password Reset

OR Send an email to info@sun.ac.za or help@sun.ac.za

PLEASE NOTE: A user’s identification must be verified either in person or video conference

Computer Literacy and Digital Literacy – not the same thing

Wednesday, June 7th, 2023

Computer and Digital Literacy are two separate things, but they go together. For us to be effective, responsible technology users, we need to have both. In this article we explore the difference between these two concepts, and why it is important to develop digital literacy skills.

What is computer literacy?

Computer literacy is defined as the knowledge and ability to use computers and related technology efficiently, with skill levels ranging from elementary use to computer programming and advanced problem solving. Those who are computer literate have the ability to perform basic tasks on the computer. For example, switching on your computer, knowing how to access the internet, navigating a browser, and operating software systems, and completing any other tasks that make it possible to do your job.

What is digital literacy?

Digital literacy is the ability to navigate our digital environment using reading, writing, critical thinking and technical skills. It’s about using technological devices such as a smartphone, laptop or tablet, to find, evaluate and communicate information. So, digital literacy goes beyond computer literacy because it gives individuals the power to connect around the world. 

Why is digital literacy important?

Digital literacy skills are essential for participating in the modern economy. Digital literacy can play a powerful role in helping people connect, learn, engage with their community, and create more promising futures. Simply reading articles online does not address digital literacy, so it is important for everyone to understand the variety of content and possibilities that are accessible online.
