Password-change criteria

Ana Paula Nova -

For Apollo and Galileo users:

Once the password to be used is the very same you use for your GDS Focalpoint access, 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 STD profile), sign-on ID forwards or backwards (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 re-used 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
    123 234 345 456 567 678 789 890 98 987
    876 765 654 543 432 321

  • 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:

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
