Sharing Accounts
Do not share your account or password with anyone. It is against
university policy to share your account with anyone at all.
- An account on the UW computer network is only for use by the
designated student, faculty, staff, or alumni
for its stated university-related purpose. It is
never to be shared by your housemates or neighbors, husband or wife, or
even your children doing their homework.
- You should not tell anyone, even a system administrator, your account
password.
- If you do not protect your password, you
can inadvertently leave UW computer systems vulnerable to intentional
abuse. If your password is guessed or stolen, an intruder can use your
identity to do such things as delete or modify your personal files; send
electronic mail threats in your name; subscribe you to services you do not
want; or penetrate, monitor, and harm machines and systems on the campus
or other networks.
