MUNet Account Password Policy

MUNet Accounts are subject to password policy rules that help protect the account from inadvertent or malicious access. Users are strongly advised to implement a robust, hard-to-guess password to further enhance the account's security. Passwords currently adhere to the following:

• Passwords must be six characters in length, minimum;
• Passwords must contain characters from four categories: English upper case characters (A through Z), English lower case characters (A through Z), base 10 numerical characters (0 through 9), non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %);
• Passwords are locked out for a certain duration after 10 invalid login attempts;
• Passwords have a history of 5 passwords remembered (that is, you may not re-use your past 3 passwords when changing it);
• Once set, all Passwords have a minimum duration of 5 days (that is, you may not change your new password again for 5 days, after it has been changed);
• While student passwords currently do not expire,we stronly encourage frequent password changes.
