Password requirements
Passwords must meet the following minimum criteria.
- It must be unique from any other employee password.
- It must be at least 2 and no more than 8 alpha-numeric characters in length. Do not use spaces.
- It must differ from the employee user name.
- It must be a non-repeating character combination (for example, abc is acceptable but aaa is not).
Passwords are case-sensitive. However you create your new password (the combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols) is how you must enter it when you log in to AIMsi. For example, if your new password is MyA1Msi, you cannot enter mya1msi when you log in.
