1. Our password policy requires that you choose a password that's at least 8 characters long, includes uppercase and lowercase characters, a number, and a special character.
2. We suggest the use of a password management program to keep track of unique and secure passwords.
3. You can generate easy-to-type passphrases for free with the [Bitwarden Passphrase Generator](https://bitwarden.com/passphrase-generator) or test the strength of your own passwords with the [Bitwarden Password Tester](https://bitwarden.com/password-strength/).
9. You should see a **congratulations** screen once your password has met the requirements and is changed.
You should now be able to access your account with the new password. Note that it can take up to 15 minutes for the change to sync across all systems (e.g. CollegeWiFi)
If you receive a confirmation email from msonlineservicesteam@microsoftonline.com and you did **not** initiate a password reset, contact the helpdesk immediately.
