To enhance your security, NHS Informatics Merseyside's IT Security Service recently conducted a review of the passwords being used by colleagues using a secure tool that could assess the strength of passwords without revealing them. 

This security health check found that many colleagues are using weak passwords that can be easily guessed, meaning they are more vulnerable to cyber security scams. 

To address this issue and protect your IT account, from Wednesday, 12 June 2024, when you next reset your password, you will be prompted to change your password to a secure passphrase. For more information, please visit the Digital Zone on YourSpace.
