Overview

Describes password requirements for Catalyst Center.

Any user password you configure in Catalyst Center 2.3.7.9 or later must meet these requirements:

  • Is at least nine characters in length.

  • Includes characters from at least three of these categories:

    • Uppercase letters (A through Z)

    • Lowercase letters (a through z)

    • Numbers (0 through 9)

    • Special characters (such as !, $, and #)

  • Does not contain more than four consecutive characters on an English QWERTY keyboard.

    For example, 59Asdfpj! is not a valid password because it contains the characters a, s, d, and f in succession.

  • Does not contain two or more consecutive characters from the associated username.

  • Does not contain a complete word from any language.

  • Does not contain a phrase based on personal information.

Note

You can reuse a previous password only after you use 24 different passwords.
