Password safety
Under NO circumstances does TRACE reveal any passwords over the telephone, FAX them to any location, send them through email, set them to a requested string, or perform any other action that could reveal a password.
If someone claiming to represent TRACE contacts you and requests information that in any manner would reveal a password, be assured that the request is invalid and do NOT comply.
