Password Restrictions

We require a password between 8 and 20 characters with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one number, which does not include your personal name or spaces. We also recommend that you:

  • Change your password frequently
  • Avoid using the same password on multiple sites
  • Choose a password that would be difficult for others to guess
  • Never share your password or other credentials with other people

General Security Tips

In addition to the above, you can help secure your computer and the information you send online by following these everyday guidelines:

  • Routinely review security settings on your computer
  • Periodically review online accounts and remove outdated information (for example, unused payment methods or old address)
  • Be skeptical of requests for personal information
  • Install anti-virus software, and keep it current
  • Always sign out after accessing accounts on public computers, and don’t save your credentials on devices that aren’t yours
