Password Requirements

In today's world, internet security is an immensely important factor. GingerFeet takes the security of it's subscribers data very seriously. To that end, we require:

1. Password Specifications: Passwords must contain 1 number, 1 capital letter, 1 special character and be at least 10 characters long.
   Example: q3spebRa$H
2. Regular Password Updating: It's a good idea to change your password occasionally, usually every six months.
