Password complexity requirements

What are the password requirements?

OpenLearning enforces passwords that are a minimum of 8 characters, and a maximum of 64 characters.

Passwords must contain at least one character from one of the following groups:

  • lowercase characters
  • uppercase characters
  • numerical digits
  • special characters (any character which is not a letter or digit)

Passwords must not contain white-space characters, and must not contain similarities to other user fields (email, name).

 

Note, as per NIST recommendations passwords are not required to be changed arbitrarily (e.g. periodically).
