Password-change criteria

Nicole Silva -

For Apollo and Galileo users:

Once the password to be used is the very same one you use for your GDS Focalpoint access, the rules are according to the GDS.

New passwords must be between 7 and 10 characters in length

Passwords must contain at least one alpha AND one numeric character

Days of the week and month names cannot be used

You cannot use your name (first or last as shown in your STD profile), sign-on ID forwards or backward (with or without a check digit)

Three consecutive similar characters are not allowed. (Example: AAA or 222 or 123 as per restricted word list below)

The user's previous 5 (five) passwords are stored and may not be reused for a new change

Password changes are limited to once per system day

At least three characters must change in the new password for the system to accept it

The first three characters of the new password must be different from the old one

Your keyword cannot be the same as your password

The following restricted 'words' cannot be used:

0000 111 222 333 444 555 666 777 888 999

You cannot use prohibited words within a password - e.g. ‘PASSWORD’ wouldn't work because it contains 'PASS' or, if your name in your sign-on profile is Lisa, using 'MONALISA'  would not be allowed as a password.

For Worldspan users:

The password to be used is the one from your BSI string and not the one for the Worldspan Go! Res., rules are also according to the GDS.

Must be 7-10 alphanumerics

Must contain both alpha and numeric characters

May be changed only once a day

May not be changed when emulating another SID

May not be the agent sine or other common words

Must change at least three characters

May not be one of your last five passwords
