eServices Passwords

Are you ready to set up your eServices account? Once you have been assigned your user ID, you will need to choose your own password. As a reminder, eServices passwords are case sensitive and:

• Must be at least eight characters long
• Must contain an uppercase letter
• Must contain a lowercase letter
• Must have at least one of these special characters (@, #, or $)
• Must contain numbers (0-9) and letters (A-Z, a-z)
• Must start with a letter
• No leading portion of first or last names may occur
• Must contain at least four changed characters from the previous password 
• Must be changed every 60 days
• Cannot contain spaces
• Cannot use same password as the last 13 passwords

More secure passwords are those which are based on pass phrases and/or non-dictionary words (including "nonsense" words), combined with obscure character substitutions.
