Student passwords for logging in to computers

Hello

Tamiko from the helpdesk came by the technical assistance, reference, circulation desks and told us hints to identify whether or not students should use social security or banner id numbers for passwords when logging on to computers.

EXAMPLE:

Student name is Brian Johnson.

If email address is abbreviated, like bjohn023@wssu.edu then their password is their social.
If email address is the whole last name like, bjohnson107@wssu.edu then their password is their banner id number.
