How do I create a 'more secure' password?

To enhance account security, we’ve updated our password requirements. You may need to update your password to make this more secure.

How to create a strong password:

  • At least 12 characters long (but 14+ is even better!)
  • A mix of uppercase & lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
  • Not an obvious word or name (avoid dictionary words, names, or your agency name)
  • Different from your previous passwords
  • Easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess 

 

Keeping Your Password Secure

  • Never share your password—not even with friends or family.
  • Don’t send your password via email, message, or any insecure method.
  • Use a unique password for each account to prevent security breaches.
  • Consider a password manager to securely store and manage your passwords.
  • If you must write it down, keep it in a secure place—never on a sticky note near your computer!
