Password Requirements

  • Passwords may not contain the user's username or display name. Neither of these checks are case-sensitive.

  • The password contains characters from three of the following categories:

    • Uppercase letters of European languages (A through Z, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters).

    • Lowercase letters of European languages (a through z, sharp-s, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters).

    • Base 10 digits (0 through 9).

    • Non-alphanumeric characters (special characters):

      '-!"#$%&()*,./:;?@[]^_`{|}~+<=>

      Currency symbols such as the Euro or British Pound aren't counted as special characters for this policy setting.

    • Any Unicode character that's categorized as an alphabetic character but isn't uppercase or lowercase. This group includes Unicode characters from Asian languages.
