Password Requirements

Password length:

Less than 18 characters not allowed, but no complexity required either (upper-case, lower-case, symbols, etc.)

Dictionary words are vulnerable!

"18 characters?! Okay, I'll find a 18 character word in the dictionary."

"Try again, if it's in a dictionary, it can be cracked in minutes."

How to build a password

Select 3 or more random words that you can remember, string them together, voila! Your password is strong and you'll be set for a year and a half before needing to do that again.

Example: Pick 4 things you like

cat taco volleyball music

That is 25 characters!
