Change Password

Passwords are a critical part of a good security system. To effectively manage system security, AMS360 expires passwords every 60 days, requiring each user to enter a new password to continue system access. The structure of the password is also important. The rules for creating a user password in AMS360 are described below.

New passwords cannot be the current password, or any of the previous 24 passwords you've used.

    Password Rules

Entry of a new password follows the same rules as required in initial Employee Setup:

• Passwords are case-sensitive.

• Does not contain the Login ID

• A minimum of 7 and a maximum of 30 characters in length

• Include characters in at least 3 of the following 4 groups:

• Uppercase character

• Lowercase character

• Numeric character

• Symbol (Symbols include any special character such as !, @, or # available on your keyboard.)
