+# Introduction to using Homebase
+
+As a user of Homebase you have been given an "account". You have received a "username" (probably by email), and a password (probably by cellphone text message).
+
+The password you received has only a short lifespan, and **must** be changed soon.
+
+
+## Pick a good password
+
+Invent something impossible to guess, yet easy to remember.
+
+ * Avoid personal info. Don't use your mother's birthday or your pet cat.
+ * Avoid plain words. Gibberish mixed with mumbo jumbo is much better (robots use dictionaries!).
+
+Suggestion: Think of a phrase - e.g. a poem or a song. Pick first letter of each word. Add a number. Gibberish in itself, but easy (for you) to remember/recreate.
+
+
+## Save your password in your head only
+
+Your password is strictly personal.
+
+ * Do not write it down.
+ * Do not **ever** reveal it to anyone. Not a friend, your boss, the police, me or other technicians.
+ * Be proud if you forget your password: That means you picked a strong password :-)
+
+If you loose or reveal your password, a new one is created for you (and texted to you, if your cellphone number is known to the system).
+
+
+## Change your password
+
+Change your password here: <https://mail.homebase.dk/horde3/passwd/>
