Password Complexity Requirements

Who it's for

• Page owners who protect hosted pages with passwords
• Account holders managing their HTMLPUT credentials

Steps

When creating a page password, follow these guidelines:

• Use 8 to 64 characters minimum
• Include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number
• Special characters are permitted but not required
• Avoid simple sequences like "1234" or "abcd"

For account passwords, the requirements are identical:

• Minimum 8 characters, maximum 64 characters
• Must contain uppercase, lowercase, and numeric characters
• Spaces and certain special characters are disallowed

If your password is rejected during sign-in or page setup, verify you've met all criteria before retrying. A common issue is missing one of the required character types or exceeding the length limit. Ensure you haven't accidentally included spaces or used predictable patterns.

Gotchas

• Passwords with only numbers or only letters are rejected
• Maximum 64-character limit is enforced; longer strings are truncated
• Spaces are not allowed anywhere in the password field
• Reusing a recent password may trigger a duplicate detection error
