What are the password requirements?

Last updated: August 15th, 2019 01:14 PM

Your new password must be eight to 14 characters long.
Passwords should never be shared with another individual.
Your new password should consist of some combination of letters and numbers and must also contain at least one special character (for example, +, @, #, or $).
The following characters can NOT be used: _ . ` , < > & !
Passwords that contain only letters and dictionary words are easier for someone to guess or for computer programs to decipher.
Do not use your name, your username, or a portion of these as your password.
You cannot reuse the same password within a year, and you cannot reuse any of your previous six passwords.
