Your Recordbase password grants you access to people's confidential health records, so it's very important to have a good password and by good, we mean secure and unique.
A strong password is secure
You've probably been taught that a good password has lots of variety, some symbols, some numbers, and a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters like X@jk#92^. Variety is great, but one of the most valuable attributes of a password is length. Adding a single extra character upgrades a password's security exponentially. In a dictionary attack, your 7-character password is toast in under 1 second; 10 characters can give you 4 months, but by 12 characters, you've got an estimated 2 centuries of security.
A strong password is unique
The other important feature of a password is uniqueness you should never, ever reuse a password in Recordbase that you have used in another system. Why? If your password is compromised in one system, it's easy for hackers to correlate your username or email address to other systems; if you tend to reuse passwords, then that PrettyPrincessBalloonPalace.com account that you created three years ago to buy unicorn balloons for your second cousin's princess-themed birthday party (and then forgot about) could easily become the chink that gets a hacker into your bank account... or Recordbase.
Wild Bamboo recommend a secure, unique passphrase
In accordance with security best practices, the Recordbase password requirement is a 10-character password (no symbols, numbers or uppercase letters required) that never expires.
To make this easier for you, we recommend coming up with a passphrase: a string of several common, random words that make a memorable mental image (a moon stuck in a bucket, like US President Herbert Hoover, once supposedly got stuck in a bathtub = moonbucketHoover) or a phrase that you would never, ever tell someone (embarrassing secrets make good ones, how about JarJarwasmyfavourite or IreadTwilightandIlikedit or mayonnaiseontoast). To keep them unique and help you remember where you use them, try adding detail about where you use it: maybe moonbucketHooveratwork or mayonnaiseontoastatthebank? Suddenly you have a password that's both easier to remember and much more secure than even X@jk#92^
