Security

Home > User Support > Access > Security

As a TeraGrid user, you have access to some of the best high performance computing and data resources in the country. Most of our users are well aware of the need for good security practices. As a reminder, we offer the suggestions below:

• Store your Account Information Packet in a safe place; you will need it to reset your password to the default.
• Don't share login information. It's easy for PIs to add users through the User Portal. In addition, community and training accounts are available for special situations.
• If individuals leave your project, use the same form to remove their account from your allocation.
• When changing passphrases and passwords, use strong passwords with mixed cases and character types.
• If you suspect a security incident, call the Help Desk immediately: 1.866.907.2383.

See the Managing Passwords page for information on how to change and reset your password.
