\nWhen an employee is changing their password, we want to ensure they are choosing a new password, and not reusing the same, potentially compromised password.<\/p>\n
\nThis change will only be visible when attempting to reset your password and choosing the same password as before. You will be prompted to pick a new, unique, and strong password.<\/p>\n
\nUFV is always taking steps to improve our security and password security is incredibly important. Our goal is to align with security industry best practices for passwords.<\/p>\n
