Screenshot of how to change password

Add your old password into the appropriate box and your new password into the boxes below.

Make sure: you choose a strong password for better account security. That it has a minimum length of 12 characters and has one or more:

User account passwords shall:

  • be at least 12 characters in length
  • be unique for each account and not knowingly used elsewhere
  • not use a pattern that is standardised or guessable
  • consider password history and not knowingly re-use passwords
  • require a minimum password age of 1 day (i.e. not be changed more than once a day)
  • be changed on initial account access by the user
  • be changed if any suspected or actual breach of password occurs
  • be obscured on any access point that displays them, typically marked with an asterisk
  • be kept secure if stored or transmitted, by using modern hashing algorithms or encryption
  • be known and used only by the user to whom it is assigned
