These guidelines are designed to help you create a secure password for your VALR account.
Password Requirements
- Minimum length is 8 characters.
- Must contain at least 1 uppercase letter.
- Must contain at least 1 lowercase letter.
- Must contain at least one number.
- Must contain at least one special character (e.g. !, @, #, $ etc.) -- spaces do not count.
- Must not contain your name, any part of your name or email address.
Password recommendations
- If your password is less than 15 characters long, it should not contain "common" words (e.g. common passwords or names).
- The best passwords are usually passphrases that are easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
- The best passphrases are usually nonsensical phrases with a few misspelt words, capital letters, numbers, or special characters thrown in (e.g. "Sp00fia Could2#2 Pumba-Ching".
- Famous quotes should be avoided.
- Use a password manager to keep your passwords safe from theft or forgetfulness.
- Avoid using personal information such as your name, spouse's or children's names, birthdays, pets, and usernames in your password. This information is often publicly accessible, making it easier for someone to guess your password.
