Password requirements
Your password:
Remember:
- must be a minimum of 12 characters long, and should be longer
- must not have been used before
-
must not
have been exposed in a past data breach
- Data breaches occur frequently, and in many cases result in the exposure of usersâ passwords if the service provider does not adequately protect them. Once passwords have been exposed like this, they are added to the âdictionariesâ used by hackers to try and access accounts. This exposure makes them unsuitable to be used anywhere.
- should not be based on a single dictionary word
- should not use personal information, such as yours or family membersâ names or significant dates
- should not use repeating characters or keyboard patterns (e.g. mmmm3333, qwerty, 123456)
- should not be one you use anywhere else
Remember:
- ALWAYS keep your password a secret!
- IT staff will never ask you for your password.
- Immediately report anyone who asks you for your password.
