Password Requirements

Your password must meet these requirements

Passwords are case sensitive, usernames are not.

Complexity requirements
  • Passwords cannot contain the user's account name
  • Passwords cannot contain the users first or last name
  • Passwords must contain characters from at least 3 of the following 4 categories:
    • Upper case letters
    • Lower case letters
    • Numbers
    • Special characters (symbols such as $, %, &, *, @, !, #, +, =)
Password history Your new password cannot be the same (or essentially the same) as any of your previous 8 passwords. Recent improvements to password complexity requirements algorithms disallow minor changes such as incrementing a number used as the last character (Bandito1, Bandito2, Bandito3, etc.).
Maximum password age Unlimited -- Webville does not require periodic password changes.
Minimum password age One (1) is the number of days a user must keep a password before he or she can change it. 
Minimum password length 8 is the minimum number of characters required in a password. Passwords can be up to 128 characters. 
Account lockout policy 10 invalid logon attempts will result in account lockout for a duration of 5 minutes. 

Examples

For example, "77shelley" (without the quote marks) does not meet complexity requirements, but "77shelley**", or "77Shelley" or "77Shelley**" does, provided the user's full name or account name does not include Shelley.
