UTK Password Policy (3-1-05)
Your NetID password can be changed at
the following link.
https://san3.dii.utk.edu/portal/page?_pageid=40,38571&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
Choosing a new, secure password
New passwords must be at least eight characters long and
include at least three of the following four characteristics
At least one numeric character (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0)
At least one special character (/, [, -, =, +, !, #, $, etc.),
At least one lowercase character (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, etc.)
At least one uppercase character (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc.).
All passwords--including those issued for temporary IDs, password resets, and
locked out IDs--must conform to the above standard.
Note: All ERA (UT Dial-Up) customers should change their passwords to have
exactly eight characters. Passwords with more than eight characters cause the
login to fail.
Users must never write down or otherwise record their passwords. Each user is
responsible for any action taken with that user's login. No university employees
or students should ever share or divulge their password to anyone, including
other university students and staff, nor should UT employees and administrators
ever request a user to divulge his or her password. Users should change their
passwords often--at least once every 180 days. Any password that a user believes
may have been compromised must be changed immediately.
Users must not attempt to determine another user's password through any means.
This prohibition applies to passwords for students, faculty, staff, and friends
and accounts on systems reached through the Internet.
Account lockouts: An account will be set to lock out a user for a minimum of
five minutes after a maximum of five failed login attempts.
Password uniqueness: A history of at least ten passwords should be kept when
technically feasible for each account within a system. New passwords should be
checked against this history and users prohibited from re-using any matching
entries.
