Why do you need a strong, secure password?

Having a strong and secure password will ensure that you:

  • Keep personal information in your Showbie account safe

  • Protect any data in your Showbie account

When creating your password, the following requirements are in place:

Admins, Teachers & Parents

  • Password must be at least 8 characters and must include a number, both uppercase and lowercase letters, and a symbol (!, @, #, etc).

Students

  • Password must be at least 8 characters.

*Please note that enabling single sign on (SSO) is also a good alternative to keeping your Showbie Account secure.

Tips for creating a strong password:

  • Make sure your password is unique. Include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (e.g., !, @, #, $, %). The more diverse your password is, the stronger it becomes!

  • Make your password long and memorable. Avoid using easily guessable information like your name, birthdate, address, or phone number.

  • Use a unique password for each online account you have. Re-using passwords across multiple accounts puts you at risk if one of them gets compromised.

  • Generate random passwords that don't follow predictable patterns. Avoid common patterns like "12345" or "qwerty."
