Password help

You must not use one of the previous 5 passwords.

Passwords must be between 8 and 20 characters long and include a mix of letters (English A-Z) and numbers with no spaces. You can include one of the following special characters: ! " # $ ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ^ ] _ ` { | }

Make your password stronger:

• Use a longer password. The longer it is, the harder it is for someone to guess.
• Include a mixture of capital letters and special characters.
• Create your own acronym or abbreviation like 1!vCht for ‘I love chocolate’, or use phonetic replacements such as 'Luv2L#f' for 'Love to Laugh', to help you remember.

Things to avoid:

• Names, places, dates and dictionary words.
• Keyboard patterns like qwerty and sequential numbers such as 1234.
• Repeated characters, for example aa11bb.
• Using passwords that are listed online as good examples.

Keep your password safe:

• Never tell anyone your password.
• Never write your password down.
• Never send your password by email.
• Don’t use the same password across different websites.
• Periodically change your password for increased security.
