Password Requirements

Guidelines for creating your password are as follows: 

• Don’t use a phrase you can find as a single entry in a dictionary.
• Don’t use a password that you have previously used.
• Your password must be 12 characters or longer.
• Complexity (additional numbers, special characters, etc.) is no longer required.
• Always use a different password for each of your accounts (work, personal banking, etc.) to ensure that if one account is compromised, your other accounts are still protected and consider acquiring/implementing a password manager to make this easy to manage.
