Some base rules to choose a good password follows:

• It shouldn't contain common names;
• It shouldn't contain names of person;
• It should contain both letters and numbers;
• There should be at least 3 alphabetical characters;
• There should be at least 2 numerical characters;
• It should be different from the user-name string;
• It should be at least 8 characters long.

Anyway, the password changing interface does not accept the new password until a series of checks are passed; they consists in checking that:

• the password is not based on dictionaries;
• the password is different from the previous one;
• the minimum number of character constraint is respected.
