Minimum Password Requirements

Minimum Password Requirements


When setting a password for your Autoelevate account, we require a minimum of entropy-based strength. It is based on the following rules:

  • All user passwords must be rated "Very Strong"," with an estimated crack time of at least 30 days or more.
  • While we currently don't enforce a minimum character minimum requirement, we will soon. It is important to note that all user passwords must meet the "Very Strong" rating, which typically requires at least 10 characters.
  • We do not enforce arbitrary complexity rules (such as requiring symbols or uppercase letters). Instead, we focus on entropy-based strength to promote secure, memorable passphrases.
  • Passwords are checked against a live database of known compromised credentials. Any password found in a breach is immediately rejected.
