When a password is created, the password must contain:

  1. At least 8 characters.
  2. At least 3 of the following:
        a) Lower case letters (a-z)
        b) Upper case letters (A-Z)
        c) Numbers (0-9)
        d) Special characters (ex. !@#$%^&*)

 

As password requirements are met, green checkmarks will appear to the left of each satisfied requirement.


Let’s look into each requirement closer.

  1. At least 8 characters: The password created must consist of at least 8 characters (letters, numbers and/or special).

  2. At least 3 of the following: The password created must consist of at least 3 out of the 4 character types listed below.

    It is acceptable to have all character categories or any combination of 3 of the 4 character categories.
