Minimum Password Requirements

Your password(s) should always meet the below listed minimum requirements to be considered complex, and to ensure the safety of your account(s) and data.

• Minimum of 8 and no more than 20 characters
• At least 1 capital letter
• At least 1 lowercase letter
• At least 1 number
• At least 1 symbol    (!@#$%^&*<>?:")
• And should never contain your user name or name in any way

Don't use the same password for multiple accounts. If one account gets compromised, hackers might try using the same password on other sites where you have accounts. Avoid using personal information like your name, birthday, pet's name, or address in your password. Regularly change your passwords, especially for critical accounts like email and banking. Never share your passwords with anyone.

While complex passwords are important, they should also be memorable for you. Here are some techniques to create strong and memorable passwords:

• Use a passphrase. This is a longer string of words that are easy to remember but difficult to guess for someone else.  For example, instead of "summer123", use "Ilovethesunshineatthebeach".
• Use the first letter of each word in a sentence or phrase that is meaningful to you. For example, the sentence "My favorite food is pizza!" could become the password "Mfip!".

By following these tips, you can create strong passwords that will help keep your accounts safe.
