Password Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to passwords set using the ACC:

• Passwords must be at least 8 characters long
• Special characters, numerals, and letters are allowed
• Passwords will be checked against a list of unsafe passwords (see below)

We will reject passwords that match any entry on a list of unsafe passwords. Passwords may be considered unsafe for a variety of reasons:

• they contain user-specific information;
• they contain references to Pair Networks or its services;
• or they match passwords generally considered unsafe, such as password, 123456, etc.

Our list of unsafe passwords will change over time in order to stay abreast of the latest security threats.
