How easy is it for a hacker to get your password?
Strong passwords help prevent unauthorized people from accessing files, programs, and other resources, and should be difficult to guess or crack. A good password:
- Is at least eight characters long
- Doesn't contain your user name, real name, or company name
- Doesn't contain a complete word
- Is significantly different from previous passwords
- Contains uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
This interesting chart shows how long it will take for a hacker to get your password. Stay out of the purple and red at least.
One Drive Basics
One Drive is included with your Office 365 account. It provides up to 1GB of Cloud Storage for files and is the recommended location for safe storage for all of your files.
Student Login Help
Links to Office 365, Schoology, and most commonly accessed websites can be found in the blue sidebar to the left.
Check out My Apps for quick links to all of your applications available with Office 365 Single-Sign On.
Student usernames follow the format 'js234567@dcsms.org' - 2 letters and 6 numbers. The 2 letters are the initials of their first and last names and the 6 numbers are the last six digits of their lunch number for a total of 8 characters.
Example: If Amy King's lunch number is 1234567, her computer / Email / Schoology username is ak234567@dcsms.org.
Student passwords are the school mascot plus their 6-digit birthdate in the format MMDDYY.
Example: Tigers030406
| School Mascots | |
|---|---|
| Center Hill Mustangs | Lake Cormorant Gators |
| DeSoto Central Jaguars | Lewisburg Patriots |
| Hernando Tigers | Olive Branch Quistors |
| Horn Lake Eagles | Southaven Chargers |
In most cases you should use the entire email address (with @dcsms.org) as the username.
Students should log in to Office 365 / Email at DCS Email first to ensure they are properly identified by all systems. This authentication determines access for One Drive documents in Schoology, Youtube access, and much more whether you are on a personal or school-owned device.
