  • Passwords must be 8 to 40 characters in length and cannot contain spaces.
  • Passwords must include mixed case, a number, and a special character from this list:
           ! , @ # $ % ^ * ? _ ~
  • When changing a password, you cannot reuse any of the last 3 passwords.
  • Password policy has to be met
