New Password Phrase Example

1. Choose a Base Phrase:

  • Start with a memorable phrase or a combination of words. For example, “BrightSky”.

2. Add Complexity:

  • Uppercase Letter: Ensure at least one letter is uppercase. In our example, “B” is already uppercase.
  • Lowercase Letter: Ensure at least one letter is lowercase. In our example, “BrightSky” contains lowercase letters.
  • Symbol: Add a symbol to the end of the phrase. For example, “BrightSky!”.
  • Number: Add a number to the end of the phrase. For example, “12BrightSkys^_^”.

3. Adjust Length:

  • Ensure the total length is a minimum of 12 characters. If the phrase is too long, consider abbreviating or removing some characters. If it’s too short, add more characters or symbols.
  • Example: “Br1ghtSky#!3” (12 characters, includes uppercase, lowercase, symbol, and number).

4. Requirements:

  • Double-check that the password phrase meets all the criteria:
    • 12 characters: ✔️
    • 1 lowercase letter: ✔️
    • 1 uppercase letter: ✔️
    • 1 symbol: ✔️
    • 1 number: ✔️

5. Tips:

  1. Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays, names, or common words.
  2. You are prevented from using Junction related words – this will not be allowed when creating a password. E.g. “Junction”, “Thrive”
