Password Requirements

Expiration: Passwords do not expire and only need to be changed under the following conditions:

• If you forget your password
• Your account is identified as a high risk by Microsoft

New passwords for University of Baltimore Accounts must meet the following standards:

• Passwords should be at least 8 characters long. Passwords should be composed of a mix of character types:
  • Lowercase letters (a-z)
  • Uppercase letters (A-Z)
  • Numbers (0 – 9)
  • Special characters (!, @,*, #, $, etc.)
• May not be a password previously used for this account.
• Must avoid common words and patterns including easily guessable words or phrases, and personal information (i.e. name, username, phone number)
• Reusing passwords across different accounts is discouraged. Passwords that are known to be compromised will be blocked from use.

Password Tips

If you're having problems creating a memorable password that meets UBalt's password requirements, here are some ideas to make it easier:

• Use the first letter of each word in a favorite phrase or quote.

Ex: "Ask not what your country can do for you" can be changed to Anwyccdfy. From there you can add a number at the end Anwyccdfy61 or change the "f" to the number 4: Anwyccd4y.

• Take parts of meaningful words or dates and combine them. Take a favorite vacation spot (Rehoboth), part of your phone number (256), and where you were born (Columbia) to make Reho256Colu.

A strong, secure password does not need to be gibberish. A password is good only if you can remember it.
