Note: To use the “Email” option, you must have a recovery email you can access without having to authenticate via Okta set as your “Secondary Email” for this method to work. An ACC email address will require you to authenticate with Okta before being able to access your inbox.

    • At least 8 characters in length
    • A lowercase character (abcd…)

    • A symbol or special character (@#$%^&*()_+!?)
    • The password cannot be the same as your last 24 passwords
