the system now requires strong passwords. if you are creating a new password in the UserCP, keep the following in mind:
We consider a strong password to be one that is unique to the forums and not used by you elsewhere online. Our passwords require the following:
- A minimum of eight (8) characters
- At least one (1) lowercase letter
- At least one (1) uppercase letter
- At least one (1) number
- At least one (1) of the following special characters: @ # _ $ % ^ & ! ~ ? *
We also recommend the following for your password:
- Do not include personal information such as your birthday, date of birth, or address in your password.
- Avoid commonly used words like "password" or the name of the website.
- Do not use sequences such as "abcd", "123", "asdf", "jkl" or "qwerty".
