It's your identity. Protect it.
Your DETE user account, or User ID, and a secure password allow you to access the department's network and ICT services such as email, secure resources and the internet.
Your User ID is unique to you, and as with all other login and password details, you should keep it safe and secure to prevent your account being used by someone else.
