Figure 3: Register a New Account page – Passphrase section
-
In the “Passphrase” field, enter the passphrase you would like to use for your new account, as shown in Figure 4 above.
A passphrase is like a password, but instead of one word, it is a series of words,
and more secure than a password. Your passphrase must meet the following requirements:
-
It must contain a minimum of 4 words that adds up to a minimum of 14 characters,
with a hyphen (-), space or underscore (_) between each word.
Adding these separators makes your passphrase much harder to hack.
-
It must be sufficiently complex - It must contain at least three of the following:
-
x1 uppercase letter (A-Z);
-
x1 lowercase letter (a-z);
-
x1 number (0-9);
-
x1 special character (e.g. #, $, %, ^) – hyphens,
spaces or underscores are not counted as special characters.
-
It must not be a passphrase you have already used on this or other sites or systems.
-
It must not repeat any words.
-
It must not use restricted words - restricted words are words that are widely
used in the system – e.g. “GEMS”, “Registration”, “E3”, etc.
Select the eye icon next to the “Passphrase” field to make your passphrase visible
when you’re typing it in. Be sure no-one can see you entering your passphrase.
Once it’s entered, click the eye icon again to hide it.
-
In the “Passphrase (confirm)” field, enter the passphrase you entered in the previous
box to confirm your passphrase. Use the eye icon if you need it and remember to
click it again to hide it when you’re done.
-
Select the “Click Here” text if you would like to subscribe to the Efficiency Standard e-newsletter.
