Netflix says 'This password is not secure or is too common.'

If you see an error that says

This password is not secure or is too common.

This error can occur when changing or resetting your password. It means that the password you chose is on a list of compromised or commonly used passwords which we don't allow for security reasons. To fix this error, you’ll need to choose a different password.

Your password should be:
  • Different than what you use for any other websites or apps

  • At least 8 characters long

  • A mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols

  • Not easily guessed - such as “password,” “12345678,” or use any personal information (name, birthday, address)

A password manager can make it easier to keep track of unique passwords.
