University of Iowa Enterprise Password Policy
Description
The Enterprise Password Standard defends against unauthorized access of UI systems that could result in a compromise of personal or institutional data. For the majority of the UI community, the default password policy means the following:
- Passwords must be a minimum of fifteen (15) characters long, using a combination of alphabetic, numeric, and special characters
- Passwords cannot contain consecutive, repeated characters (e.g., aaaaa11111) and cannot match previous passwords
- HawkID and HealthCareID passwords must be changed annually (every 365 days)
Note: Service accounts (non-interactive application IDs), require a minimum password length of 25 characters.
To change your HawkID password or use other HawkID password-related tools, visit the Account Center.
To change your HealthCareID password or use other HealthCareID password-related tools, visit the HealthCareID Solution Center.
