The new default for accounts (FAUNet ID) created after the change will be the 3 letters of “fau” in lowercase followed by the user’s birthday in MMDDYY format (fauMMDDYY). For example if your birth date is September 3rd, 1997, your initial password would be fau090397.

In addition FAU will require all newly set passwords to meet the following requirements.

• The password length must be at least 8 but no more than 30 characters.
• The password must contain a letter.
• The password must contain a digit.
• The password must not contain any of these three special characters:  @ & $.
• You must change your password every 365 days.
• The password cannot be a repeat of your previous 6 passwords.

User impact: All newly created accounts will be created with a new password. Users who change their passwords must follow the new password complexity requirements. Between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM user account creating and password changes will be delayed.

The network maintenance scheduled for Tuesday September 11 from 5:00a.m. to 6:30a.m. has been completed.
