Betfair (password requirements from 26th Jan 2016)
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2016 3:25 pm
On the 26th January 2016, Betfair is introducing new password requirements.
In order to access the API, you will need to have a "strong" password (i.e. something that is at least 8 characters long and containing both alphabetic and numeric characters; together with the possible use of certain punctuation characters).
If your password is insufficiently strong, then you will be unable to log into the Betfair API.
The API will return a "WEAK_PASSWORD_ACKNOWLEDGE" error code and you will have to go to the Betfair website and update your password before you are able to use any API-based products.
