For your security, new passwords must meet the following requirements:

• must be between 8 and 40 characters in length
• must contain at least one upper case character, one lower case character and one number
• cannot be a previously used password
• avoid using special characters ({<[%&;'\"|*?~^$,`]>})
• cannot contain your username, first name, last name, email, phone number or SID

For enhanced security, do not use proper names, words commonly found in the dictionary or repeating sequences of numbers.
