## Information about acceptable passwords
Acceptable passwords are regulated by the policy of the Active Directory.
Password must be at least 12 characters long and contain uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.
It cannot contain accented letters and larger details of the username.
The password must not be identical of any previously used password.
Some well-known or overly simple passwords are also prohibited by AD.
The minimum age of the password is 0 day(s). Changing the password more often than this is prohibited.
Some of these rules are checked by this application. Sometimes this application passes a password that cannot be set on the AD side, in which case a password setting error occurs.
Please try again using a more complex password. If the failure remains, please contact the Study Department / Registrar’s Office (students) or the Service Desk (employees).
