What are the requirements for my password?

Permitted characters

The password for your mailbox account may contain a combination of the following characters:

  • Upper-case letters (A–Z)
  • Lower-case letters (a–z)
  • Numbers (0–9)
  • Special characters: ! $ " % & / ( ) = * + - # . , ; : @ ? [ ]"

Tips

  • Use a unique password for your email inbox that you do not use for any other service.
  • Do not use easily guessable information such as birthdays or names.
  • Ideally, use a password manager to create and store long and complex passwords.
  • Secure your mailbox account further with two-factor authentication.
