Your password must follow these 7 rules:
1) Your password must be between 8 and 30 characters.
2) Your password must contain at least one uppercase, or capital, letter (ex: A, B,
etc.)
3) Your password must contain at least one lowercase letter.
4) Your password must contain at least one number digit (ex: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.)
5) Your password must contain at least one special character -for example: $, #, @,
!,%,^,&,*,(,) - mainly the
special characters are located on the top row of the keyboard on the same line as the numbers 0 through
9.
6) You cannot include within your password any words of four characters or more that
might be found in a
dictionary (“dictionary words”). For example, you cannot use the word “book” in your password, but you
can
use“b00k” instead (using zeroes instead of the letter “o”). However a three letter sequence that just
happened
to spell a dictionary word - such as the “cat” in Dcatt467! - would be accepted.
7) Must have at least four different characters (letters, numbers, symbols) in your new
password that were not
found in your previous password. For example, if your previous password was Kattas#04 and if your new
proposed password was Kattas#05, such would be rejected since there are not four different characters in
your
proposed new password. Similarly, if your old password was Abcd1359! and your proposed new password was
Catt1234! such would not be allowed either because only three characters are different in the proposed
new
password (t 2 4). But Catt2468! versus Cat3579!t would be accepted because the new password has four
different characters not found anywhere in the old password ( 3 5 7 9).
