## Password complexity {#Resettingpasswords-PasswordComplexity}

Passwords must satisfy password complexity rules. A password must be at least 8 characters long and satisfy three or more of the criteria:

- length of at least 12 characters
- length of at least 16 characters
- contains a number
- contains whitespace
- contains an uppercase letter
- contains a lowercase letter
- contains punctuation
Passwords in Octopus must meet password complexity rules. Octopus applies a scoring system to a new password to decide if it meets the complexity rules.

A password must be:
- Minimum 8 characters long

It also needs to meet 3 (or more) of the following scoring criteria:

- Contains a number
- Contains whitespace
- Contains an uppercase letter
- Contains a lowercase letter
- Contains punctuation or symbols
- At least 12 characters long
- At least 16 characters long

The more scoring criteria a new password meets, the higher its score and derived complexity.
