Creating a Strong Password
It's important to choose a password that can't 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 can't 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 password can't be in a list of leaked passwords. NetSuite checks the password on submit, which can cause the password being rejected even if all other criteria are met. If that happens, you should consider changing the leaked passwords in other services you use.
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's possible for you or an administrator to enter a password for granting access to your NetSuite account.
