Per the rules, you must have 3 of the 4 conditional requirements included (1 uppercase letter, 1 lower case letter, 1 special character or 1 number).
Passphrases may be used and are encouraged, but must still contain 3 of the 4 conditional requirements.
Enter your new password in the spaces provided.
