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)
