La paranoia de mi laburo

Trabajo en HP. Hoy me llegó un mail diciéndome que el 1ro de Octubre tengo que cambiar mi contraseña.

Password Guidelines

To ensure the safety and security of our internal network, computer passwords must be changed every 365 days and must meet the following criteria:

  1. Passwords must contain a minimum of 12 characters.
  2. Passwords must contain characters from at least 3 of the following 5 categories:
    • Lower case alphabetic characters (a, b, c, d, e, f, etc.)
    • Upper case alphabetic characters (A, B, C, D, E, F, etc.)
    • Numeric characters (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.)
    • Special characters (comma, period, ?, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), -, +)
    • Unicode characters (may be language specific)
  3. Passwords can consist of a "passphrase" - a series of words, such as a simple sentence like, My.2.dogs.are.great! Or, My2dogsaregreat! Passphrases are generally easier to create and remember rather than a long password. Please refer to the Passwords Security website for detailed information on how to create a successful pass phrase.
  4. Passwords must be different from the last 6 passwords used.
  5. Password cannot include a subset of your first or last name, or a subset of your user account name.
