Password guidelines

What are the password complexity requirements?

• Must be at least 8 characters long.
• Must not contain 3 or more consecutive letters from the start of your first given name, other given names, or family name - For example, if your name is “John Paul Smith” you cannot use “joh” or “pau” or “smi” in your password.

What can I use to make a stronger password?

• Contain at least 3 of the 4 following types of characters
  • Upper case (A, B, C, D, E ...)
  • Lower case (a, b, c, d, e ...)
  • Number (1, 2, 3, 4, ...)
  • Non alpha-numeric (!, @, #, $ ...)
• Not use any part of your name

Remember to also change your password regularly.
