Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length and fulfill the following criteria:

• Use a mixture of upper and lowercase characters, having at least one of each.
• Use at least one numeric digit.
• Use at least one special character (i.e. punctuation marks etc.).

It is recommended not to use passwords that contain dictionary words or other common numeric or character sequences. Simple misspellings or character substitutions from dictionary words do not improve password strength by a useful amount.

Do not use your username or other personal information as a password.
