How to Create a Strong Password
Make a password that is difficult to guess and easy to manage.
Before you begin
Make a password that is difficult to guess and easy to manage. This ncmic guide helps you work through the task safely and understand what to do if the first attempt does not work. The ncmic support team can help with account-specific questions.
What to have ready
- A trusted device and browser
- Your recent account notices
- The approximate time of anything unusual
Use the official service page for account actions. Never share your password or a one-time code with anyone.
Follow these steps
- 1
Use a long, unique phrase or a password manager-generated password.
- 2
Avoid names, birthdays, and reused credentials.
- 3
Save it in a trusted password manager.
- 4
Update it if you learn it may have been exposed.
If it still does not work
If a new password is rejected, check any rules shown on the form and avoid reusing a recent password.
If a message feels urgent or unexpected, open the service directly rather than using the message link.
