New password policy for CINECA HPC clusters

Dear users,

we would like to inform you that we set up a new policy for the password used to access CINECA HPC clusters.
- The password has a validity of 3 months. You will receive a reminder 10 days before the expiration when you login.
- The new password has to be 10 characters long and contain at least 1 capital letter, 1 number and 1 special character (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~)
- The new password has to be different from the previous 5 ones.
- Any password change will be notified to the user by email

Changes are already effective but you don't have to do anything until the actual password expires (3 months from now)

Best Regards,

HPC User Support @ CINECA
