Changes to DICE Password Policy
We have introduced a new password policy for DICE accounts:
http://computing.help.inf.ed.ac.uk/password-policy
The significant changes made to the previous policy are:
- We now have a more flexible approach to the number of character
classes required in any password – specifically that the longer the
password, the fewer number of distinct character classes is required. - All password checking is now undertaken on the server-side – prior to
these changes, we had a mixture of client and server side checks.
