When you create a new EBSCOhost account, or are updating the existing password for your account, you are required to create a strong password.
As you begin to enter a new value into the password field, the strength indicator will reflect how strong your password is using both color and strength value (red X=weak vs. green checkmark=strong).
When your password meets the requirements, the indicator displays that your password is strong and you can retype the password in the next field to confirm it.

Check the box to consent to EBSCO's Personal Data Retention and Usage policy.
You can read the Personal Data Retention and Usage policy by clicking the link. If you opt to not consent to the policy, you will be unable to continue creating an account.
