Once POSSE sign-on information is received from the State CSE Office, the new employee will log in to POSSE and change the initial password. Passwords should be safeguarded.
Do not use your username as your password.
Do not choose passwords based upon information that is not as confidential as you may think (e.g. names of family members, social security numbers, telephone numbers, pets, friends or associates).
Do not use words that can be found in the dictionary.
Create passwords that use some combination of letters, symbols and numbers.
Do not write down your password or store it on the computer. Rather, each POSSE user should commit his/her password to memory.
Each POSSE user is responsible for the confidentiality and security of his/her password. Do not share your password with anyone.
If a POSSE user believes his/her POSSE credentials (username and password) have been compromised, the employee will immediately report the incident to his/her supervisor and the State CSE IRS/FPLS Security Liaison. .
