​In order to protect your account, we have implemented a system to ensure you pick a strong password that is easy to remember, but hard for a computer to crack. As you begin to type in your password, you will see the meter below the password field change from red to orange and then maybe green. This meter indicates how strong your password is - red being the weakest and green being the strongest. We used a open-source standard developed originally by dropbox called zxcvbn Our system judges your password based on factors such as uniqueness, character repetition and length. The more uncommon words you use, the stronger your password will be.
​
As you begin to type, we will give you tips for how to make your password stronger. A password that is orange or green will be accepted, anything that is red will not.
​
Don't worry, your password does not have to be complicated to be strong. A password such as 'Ilovemyhorsey' is much stronger than 'P@ssw0rd1'. **
