Password requirements and recommendations
Your password has to meet the following complexity requirements:
Minimum password length: 12 characters
Password complexity: Meet 3 of the 4 criteria below
At least 1 Upper case character
At least 1 lower case character
At least 1 number
At least 1 special character (symbols like @!#$%^&*)
Other considerations:
Don’t use your username or commonly used words like “Keyano”, “Huskies”, “Fall2020” etc. in your password.
You cannot reuse your last 4 passwords.
Password Recommendations: *Don’t actually use these passwords!
Use a passphrase. Spaces are allowed in the password field, so you can use a simple sentence as your password. An example of a passphrase which contains a capital letter, multiple words, and some punctuation: “I heart Poutine!”
Shatnerize your passphrase. Include some unexpected punctuation. For example: “This, Poutine, is so good!”
Click on your account icon on the top right corner. Your account menu will pop-up. Select view account from the pop-up menu.
You will be taken to your Keyano account portal. Select "Security info link" from the navigation menu on the left. In the security info page you will find a list of authentication methods.
