- It should contain at least six characters in length.
- It should contain characters from the below three of the four types:
- English uppercase characters (A through Z)
- English lowercase characters (a through z)
- Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
- Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %). If you have changed the password, you will not be able to use the same steps to change it again for the next 24 hours. Contact the support team if you want to change the password from the backend in such a scenario.
