What are the password complexity requirements?
For Students, ICT strongly recommends you use secure passwords.
When you change or reset your password you are changing your password for all of the systems you log into with your La Trobe accounts. Such as the LMS, StudentOnline, Student Emails and many more. Once you have successfully changed your password you will need to use your new password to access these systems.
