Creating a Password - Required Criteria

Additional Password Standards

  • Must change when there is a possible compromise
  • Must not be disclosed to another person
  • Must not appear in readable format when entering password for authentication

Helpful Hints

  • Logon process will automatically terminate if three consecutive invalid password attempts are made

  • Inactive IDs are suspended after 30 days and deactivated after 60 days
  • Due to lack of usage, a large volume of user logon Ids are deactivated. Noridian guidelines state that on third instance of requested re-activation, Noridian Management will contact the facility contact for an explanation along with user justification
