When you next change your University password, it needs to be 12 characters long

The University has a new password policy that sets out the requirements for your main IT Account password.

When you next change your password, it will need to be at least 12 characters long, include upper and lower case letters and/or a special character like punctuation.  

Some useful tips about your password below from the National Cyber Security Centre:

  • A good way to create a strong, memorable password is by using 3 random words.
  • Make it something you can remember, but no one else could guess.
  • Never share your passwords with anyone else.
