If the platform flags your password as not secure, it means the password failed our security validation checks.

Verified uses an intelligent validation algorithm and an internal dictionary to evaluate passwords. Rather than just checking the length of your password, the system explicitly scans for and blocks common words, predictable keyboard patterns, and repeating characters.

Password Strength Guidelines

To create a password that successfully passes the validator, it must meet the following technical requirements:

• Minimum Length: Must be at least 7 characters long.

• Character Variety: Must include a mix of both uppercase and lowercase letters.

• Numbers or Symbols: Must include at least one digit (0–9) or special character (such as ! @ # $ %).

🚫 The Most Common Reason for Rejection

Even if your password meets the length and character rules above, the validator will reject it if it contains common words or predictable sequences.

The algorithm automatically blocks:

• Sequential numbers or letters: e.g., 123, 789, abcd, xyz

• Repeating characters: e.g., aaa, 1111, password111

• Common dictionary words: Standard dictionary words, popular names, or the word "password" itself.

How to fix it

Try using a passphrase (three or four random, unconnected words combined together) or add unexpected characters in the middle of a phrase rather than at the very end. For example, instead of Password123!, try a unique combination like Blue!Cloud%99Tree.
