Screen 3-4. Change Passwords

This screen is used to change user passwords. Passwords should be hard to guess and
should not contain the following:

all the same characters (for example, 1111, xxxx)

sequential characters (for example, 1234, abcd)

character strings that can be associated with you or your business, such as your
name, birthday, business name, phone number, or social security number

actual words and commonly-used names.

Passwords should use as great a variety of characters as possible. For example, if both
numbers and letters are permitted, the password should contain both. Passwords should
be changed regularly, at least on a quarterly basis. Recycling old passwords is not
recommended.
