When changing a password through iam.umb.sk page does it have to contain special signs?
No, it is not needed. The requirements for a new password are:
1. it does not contain any significant part of user´s account name,
2. it combines signs of at least three different groups of the following four
- Capital letters of alphabet (A-Z),
- Lowercase letters of alphabet (a-z),
- Numerals (0-9),
- Special signs (!, $, #, %, etc.)
3. Minimum length of password is 8 signs
4. A password cannot be the same as the three previous passwords are
To conclude, a new password does not have to contain any special sign if it contains capital letters, lowercase letters and numerals. According to the fact that there is an English keyboard when registering in the study rooms with VDI terminals (it cannot be changed), it is not recommended to use letters "z" and "y". If you want to use special signs in your password, we recommend you to use "." and "," because these are found at the same place on the SK and EN keyboard.
