The caDSR II password rules follow NIH guidelines. These guidelines suggest each user create a passphrase, which is more secure. When changing or resetting your caDSR II user account, keep in mind the following password rules:

• Specify at least 15 characters. There is no maximum. 
• Specify a different password than your previous ten passwords.
• Passwords are case-sensitive. That is, password is not the same as PASSWORD.
• Passwords expire in 365 days.
