- At least one of the characters must be a number (0-9) and one of the characters must be a alphabet and one of the characters must be special character (e.g. ~, !, $, %, ^, and *).
- No character may be repeated more than four (4) times.
- Passwords must be changed at least every ninety (90) days.

Additionally, NCNR recommends the following for selecting a more secure password:
- Change your password frequently, and do not reuse old passwords.
- Do not use the same passwords that you use on other websites.
- Use a password that will be easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess.
- Do not use a spouse's name, your birth date / anniversary or any other piece of publicly accessible piece of information.
- Avoid using dictionary words.
- Use the first letters of a phrase or saying, or misspell words (example: "To Be or Not To Be" could become 2BON2B).
- Use two or more words together (1MoreExample).
