Making A Strong but easy to remember Password

Let's Start with MHA's Password Policy

All Passwords must:

  • Have at least one each of the following character types:
    • Capital letters (A-Z)
    • Lower case letters (a-z)
    • Numbers (0-9)
    • One of these symbols:    !  @  #  $  %  ^  &  *  (  )
  • Contain a minimum of 10 characters from the four groups listed above
  • Your password must not contain common words or substitutes.
  • Your password must not contain your name, username, or more than 2 sequential characters from either.

    • E.g., “John Smith”  Can’t use ( John123 , JohSmi123, or John!23$mith)
  • Be changed at least once every 90 days
  • Use Password Phrases whenever possible. (BECAUSE THEY WORK!!!) ðŸ˜€
