Why Complex Passwords?

Why Complex Passwords?

EasyRx now supports complex passwords. Support of password complexity was added to meet password compliance standards of HIPAA, which are outlined below:

HIPAA Password Compliance

The HIPAA Privacy Regulations require that appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are in place to protect the privacy of protected health information. To meet this requirement, EasyRx has implemented a new option to enabled this requirement.  

When enabled, the following represents the minimum requirements for your EasyRx password.

  • Password complexity: Must not contain significant portions (three or more contiguous characters) of your account name or full name, must be at least eight (8) characters in length, must not use control characters and other non-printing characters, and must contain characters from at least three of the following four categories arranged in any order.
    • English uppercase characters (A through Z)
    • English lowercase characters (a through z)
    • Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
    • Non-alphabetic characters: ~!@#$%^*&;?.+_
  • Also to meet HIPAA password requirements, you can set how often users are prompted to change password. The choices are Unlimited, 30, 60, 90 180 or 360 days. HIPAA recommends every 60 days.  Go to Home --> Security and Compliance to configure. 



We take security very seriously at EasyRx. Each practice and lab using EasyRx expects their data to be private, secure, and confidential. We understand how important this is to our customers and work vigorously to ensure all three expectations are met.
