Requirements for your password are as follows:

  • Minimum length of 10 characters (12 characters recommended)
  • Must not include your username or parts of your full name
  • Must contain characters from three of the following four categories
    • Uppercase characters (A through Z)
    • Lowercase characters (a through z)
    • Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
    • Non-alphanumeric (only use ! , ~ ( ) { } [ or ])

Any new password must differ from the previous five passwords.
