Establish Your New LU Computing Account

Do:

• Create strong passwords: Think of a phrase or sentence and use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols

• Use 2FA: Once you complete establishing your LU account, there is a link at the bottom of this page to enroll in two-factor authentication (2FA).

Don't:

• Don't reuse your Lehigh password: Never use your Lehigh University password for any other online account.

• Don't use your Lehigh email for personal accounts: Keep your Lehigh email separate from your personal online activity.

• Don't write down your password: Memorize it or store it securely in a password manager.

• Don't share your password: Keep your password secret.

• Don't use personal information: Avoid using things like your birthday, pet's name, family names, or address in your password.

• Don't use simple passwords: Stay away from common words, short phrases like "password", “spring”, “summer”, “fall” or "1234", or keyboard patterns like "qwerty" or "1111".
