Password Rules

  • 8 to 16 alphanumeric characters
  • at least one number
  • at least one uppercase character
  • at least one of the following special characters:  % # * + - , : =  ? _

Passwords cannot :

  • start with a number
  • contain more than 3 repetitive characters
  • contain your User ID

Password/Security Procedures

A minimum of six unique passwords must be used before a previous password can be used. Passwords must be kept secure at all times and should not be shared with others or posted in an easily accessible area.

It is imperative that you sign out of the QualityNet website and close the Internet browser before leaving your workstation to prevent accidental disclosure of private data.
