Creating a Strong Password
It is important to choose a password that cannot be compromised. Your password is validated to ensure it meets minimum requirements. The validation is based on a combination of password settings that can be modified by your account administrator and system requirements that cannot be modified.
For information about how to change your password, see Change Password Link.
By default, all NetSuite accounts are set to have a Strong password policy. This policy enforces the following requirements:
-
Minimum length of 10 characters
-
At least 3 of the following 4 character types—uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, non-alphanumeric ASCII characters
-
No non-ASCII characters, which are considered illegal
-
Not something that someone could easily guess, such as common names, words, and strings like abcd123456
-
Significantly different from your most recent password
The length and character type requirements for your password may vary if your account administrator has changed the password policy or minimum password length. Ask your administrator if you have questions about the password requirements for your company.
The Password Criteria fields provide immediate feedback as you type a password on the Change Password page. This feedback shows you whether your entered password complies with all of the password requirements for your company.
The Password Criteria fields appear on any entity record where it is possible for you or an administrator to enter a password for granting access to your NetSuite account.
