Weak passwords may be easily guessed or compromised.
Use Strong Passwords
A strong password is defined as a password that requires a minimum of eight characters, with a pre-set degree of complexity through use of special characters as part of the password. This includes:
- Of the eight characters:
- One of them must be upper case
- One must be lower case
- One must be a number or special character
- Passwords may not contain any part of your name or login ID
- Users will not be allowed to use their most recent three passwords
Create a Strong Password
- Do not use names of family, friends, or pets as passwords
- Do not use easily guessed passwords such as password, qwerty, ABC123
