- Password complexity: Your password must be at least eight characters long, must contain at least 3 of the 4 following character categories (Uppercase letter, Lowercase letter, Number, Special Character), must be different than your last four passwords, must not contain your username or any part of it
- Password auto-expiration: Your password will expire every 60 days
- Stale password auto-lockout: If an account remains inactive for 60 days, the password inactivates.
- Password reuse frequency: You cannot re-use passwords you have used in the past 12 months
