Password requirements in Honey

To help keep your account secure, all passwords created in the Honey platform must meet the following requirements:

• Minimum length: 10 characters
• At least one uppercase letter (A–Z)
• At least one lowercase letter (a–z)
• At least one number (0–9)

Special characters (e.g., !, @, #) are not required but may be used for added strength.

Tips for creating a strong password

• Avoid using common phrases like "password123" or your name
• Consider using a passphrase (e.g., “SummerTrip2025” or “ReadMoreBooks1”)
• Use a password manager to generate and securely store complex passwords

When do I create or change my password?

You’ll be asked to set a password when:

• Activating your account for the first time
• Resetting your password using the “Forgot password?” link
• Updating security settings if your account has been flagged for unusual activity

Good to know

• Passwords are case-sensitive
• If your password doesn't meet the requirements, the system will not allow you to continue
• For extra protection, many studies also require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) after login
