Password Restrictions

Passwords have the following restrictions:

• They must contain at least six characters. Only the first eight are significant, so passwords longer than eight characters are treated as though they only had eight characters.
• They must contain at least two alphabetic characters (uppercase or lowercase letters) and at least one numeric or special character. Alphabetic characters can be both uppercase and lowercase.
• They must differ from the user's login name and any reverse or circular shift of that login name. For comparison purposes, uppercase and lowercase letters are equivalent.
• The new password must differ from the old by at least three characters. For comparison purposes, uppercase and lowercase letters are equivalent.
