The login page for the CCP web application provides a Reset Password link that allows CCP users to change their CV password without assistance from VA Staff.
CV enforces the following password characteristics outlined in the VA 6500 Handbook:
1. Passwords must contain at least eight non-blank characters
2. Passwords must contain characters from three of the following categories:
- English uppercase characters
- English lowercase characters
- Base 10 digits
- Non-alphanumeric special characters
Additionally, CV validates the password against the following requirements:
- Six characters cannot occur more than once in the password
- Four characters must be changed from the old password to the new password
- Passwords must be changed every 90 days
- The same password cannot be used if it has been used within the past two years
- A password cannot be used if the password has been used within the last three times
the password has been changed regardless of time frame
When creating or resetting a password, CV will notify the user if the new password does not adhere to any of the above password requirements. Passwords are case-sensitive.
