+# Introduction to using [[template id=realm]]
+
+As a user of [[template id=realm]] 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 then just report it, and a new one is
+created for you (and texted to you, if your cellphone number is known to the
+system).
+
+
+## Change your password
+
+You may change your password using the webmail:
+
+ 1. Log into the webmail application "IMP" at [[template id=webmailurl]]
+ 2. Go to the tool with a locker icon
+
+
