Examples of good passwords:

Important Note For Travellers:
The Board has no way of guaranteeing that students who travel will have access during their travels outside of Canada.
To combat phishing e-mails and online identity theft Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required when travelling. MFA is a way to protect users by prompting you to confirm that the computer or device you are using to access your board Office 365 account is trusted by you. This is often done by sending a text message to you or using an Authenticator application installed on one of your devices. Students need to be aware that if you are planning to travel outside of Canada or the US, you will need to set up MFA before you leave Canada to access your Board e-mail or any sites (like the VLE) that use it to "authenticate" or grant you access. It cannot be set up outside of Canada.
- Add a cell phone number to receive SMS text messages
- Add a home/office phone number to receive an automated phone call.
- Install the Microsoft Authenticator App on any WIFI enabled iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android Tablet or Windows PC to approve via a popup.
