Password requirements

When choosing a password keep in mind that it must:

• be at least 7 characters long
• contain at least one letter and one number

In addition, passwords cannot solely contain:

• sequences of letters or numbers (e.g., 12345678, abcdefg)
• repeated characters (e.g., 222222, aaaaaa)
• adjacent key placements on a standard keyboard (e.g., QWERTY)

The system will prevent you from choosing a password that:

• matches commonly used passwords (e.g., password123, changeme)
• uses popular dictionary words in passwords less than 16 characters (e.g., batterystaple)
• matches your user name or your email address
