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.
