• adjacent key placements on a standard keyboard (e.g., QWERTY)

The system will prevent you from choosing a password that:

• matches any of your four previous passwords
• matches commonly used passwords (e.g., password123, changeme)
• uses popular dictionary words in passwords less than 16 characters (e.g., batterystaple)
• matches your user name or your email address
