# Password Policy The Hummingbird platform has a system to assess password strength, and we require strong passwords. Rather than requiring a specific mix of characters (such as uppercase letters or symbols), our system evaluates the overall complexity of the password to ensure it's highly secure. To meet the required strength, we recommend using a longer password (ideally over 12 characters) that includes a combination of: * Unique words or phrases * Uppercase and lowercase letters * Numbers * Symbols, if possible Avoid using common words, predictable sequences (like "1234"), or patterns that could make the password easier to guess. For best results, consider combining unrelated words or phrases to reach the highest level of security required on our platform.
