A strong password is important to maintaining account security, so Ark Light carries out several checks to prevent weak or vulnerable passwords from being set whenever a user changes their password, including:

  • Complexity: Ark Light uses industry standard checks to ensure that a password is sufficiently complex. This includes verifying that the password is not so short that it could be easily cracked by a machine, that it does not contain easy to guess dictionary words, does not contain whitespace such as space characters, and it does not contain sequence of repeated characters.

  • Known breached passwords: a check against published breaches of passwords is carried out to make sure that the entered password has not previously been breached, since these are likely to be used by hackers in future.
