Password requirements

These are the password requirements at the Royal Danish Academy:

• Must be at least 8 characters
• Must include both UPPERCASE and lowercase letters
• Must include either numbers or symbols – eg. . - # !
• Must not include parts of your name or username
• You cannot reuse passwords
• After changing your password, you will have to wait 24 hours before you can change it again

Important

We use a system called Microsoft Password Protection. If you experience that a new password is rejected, that password was not considered secure or your password does not comply with the requirements above. You will have to come up with another password instead.

Some advice

If you have a hard time coming up with a password, you could try to combine words that you can remember. Just make sure to have at least one uppercase letter and one number or symbol.

Get a password manager app or use the built-in password functionality in the various browsers.
