What do I use as a password?

New password rules were implemented in 2013. Passwords should be at least 8 characters in length and contain letters, numbers, and a special character. The special characters accepted by the system are ~ ! $ % ^ * ( ) - _ = + [ ] ; : . / < >. Passwords are case sensitive. Passwords may not begin with a number.

The following special characters can be used anywhere in your password: ~ ! $ % * ( - _ = [ ] : ; . \ < >

The following special characters can only be used at the beginning of a password or within the password but not as the last character in your password: +

The following characters cannot be used at all in your new password: & # @ { } | ?
