# 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.

[[!template id=note text="""
 * Avoid personal info, like your mother's birthday or your pet cat.
 * Use gibberish rather than real words (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.

[[!template id=note text="""
 * Do not write it down.
 * Never **ever** reveal it to anyone. Not to a friend, your boss, the police,
   or to technicians.
 * Be proud if you forget it: That means you picked a strong password :-)
"""]]

Don't worry if you loose or reveal your password: just ask the supporters to
reset your password - and make sure that they have your cellphone number, then
a new temporary password will be texted to you.


## Change your password
