Password security requirements

Minimum password security requirements for 

Microsoft Single-Sign-On (SSO) Accounts


Your password must contain

  • 15 or more characters
  • upper and lower case letters
  • a number or symbol (ex. !@#$%^)

Your password must not 

  • be any of your last 24 passwords
  • be changed more than 1 time in 24 hours
  • be similar to your first name, last name, or NetID (if any three characters appear in the same order, it will be rejected)
  • be easily guessed (e.g., Roadrunner2025!) or a known compromised password

Standard user accounts do not expire at a set cadence.
