Password Requirements

Your new passwords must contain at least nine characters including three of the four categories:

  • English upper case letters (A-Z)

  • English lower case letters (a-z)

  • Base 10 digits (0 through 9)

  • Non-alphabetic characters (examples !, @,#,$,%,^,&,*)

Your password cannot contain all or part (3 or more characters) of your name

You cannot reuse any of your last 24 passwords

Password Tips

  • Avoid using words that can be found in a dictionary this can be done by mixing numbers and/or character types (Examples: Ex@mples, Examp1es, or Example$)

  • Avoid using a pattern of keyboard characters (1234 or qwerty)

  • Use a password significantly different from previous passwords

  • Avoid using the same password for your important accounts (banking, personal email, etc.)

  • Creating a long password can be difficult - try using a lyric, quote, or phrase

  • Avoid using information that can be found on social media accounts

  • Avoid writing down passwords instead write yourself a reminder of what it is for example "author of my favorite book"

Passwords expire every 120 days. You will get a reminder email to reset your password before it expires.
