Passkey Rules

The following rules apply to passkeys:

• The passkey can be a maximum of 64 alphanumeric characters.
• The passkey is not case sensitive. Using both upper- and lowercase letters will not make your passkey more complicated.
• The following special characters are allowed in the passkey:
  • $
  • #
  • @
  • Spaces

    Note: Any spaces that come before the first non-space character will be discarded.
