Password Rules

Since 16 April 2007 new password rules are being enforced when you change your password using the Change your Password web site.  Your new password must:

• be between 7 and 50 characters in length
• contain at least one number
• contain at least one non alphanumeric character
• not be the same as a previous password

What is a non alphanumeric character?

These are any characters on your keyboard that are not a letter in the English alphabet or a number.

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