Question

Are there any special considerations regarding the password security policies for IBMid?

Answer

Your IBMid password:
  • It must be only single-byte characters and must be 12 to 63 characters long.
  • It might contain any special character from a standard keyboard.
  • It cannot contain the phrase "password"
  • It cannot contain your IBMid.
  • It cannot contain your First or Last namespaces.
  • It cannot be used as the first and the last character. If provided, the password is considered without those spaces.
  • It contains at least 1 number, 1 upper case letter, and 1 lower case letter.
Tips to creating a strong password:
  • Easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
  • Mixing upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters add complexity.
  • Avoid obvious words, proper names.
In accordance with the Italian Privacy Act, passwords for all Italian users expire every 90 days.
