Security is the most important thing when it comes to the internet. At Element 74, we’re always working on ways to offer maximum security to our customers. So we’re changing our password requirements to ensure you and your business are kept as safe as possible. (Please note: This change will not affect current passwords; it will take effect as new passwords are created.)
Passwords
- Require 8-20 characters with a combination of upper- and lowercase letters.
- Require at least one special character
- Require at least one number (but cannot contain more than 3 in a row).
- Cannot start or end in a space.
- Cannot contain the login name, email address, or domain name.
- Cannot contain the word “password.”
These guidelines for password creation can be applied to all of your accounts across the internet–not just your Element 74 website.
