Password requirements

Your password must:

• Be at least 12 characters long
• Be no more than 128 characters long
• Contain at least one uppercase letter (A–Z)
• Contain at least one lowercase letter (a–z)
• Contain at least one number (0–9)

As you type, a strength indicator below the password field shows which requirements have been met. The form won't let you submit until all requirements are satisfied.

Common issues

• "Password must be at least 12 characters" — Your password is too short. Add more characters until the indicator shows this requirement is met.
• "Password must contain an uppercase letter" — Add at least one capital letter anywhere in the password.
• "Password must contain a lowercase letter" — Add at least one lowercase letter anywhere in the password.
• "Password must contain a number" — Add at least one digit (0–9) anywhere in the password.

Signing up with Google

If you sign up using Sign up with Google, no password is required — authentication is handled entirely by your Google account. Password requirements only apply to email-and-password registrations.
