Password security
Note
Assigning secure passwords
Observe the following rules when creating new passwords:
● When creating new passwords, never choose passwords that can be easily guessed, e.g.
simple words, sequences of consecutive keys on the keyboard, etc.
● Passwords must always contain a combination of upper-case and lower-case letters as
well as numbers and special characters. Passwords must comprise at least eight
characters. PINS must comprise an arbitrary sequence of digits.
● Wherever possible and where it is supported by the IT systems, a password must always
have a character sequence as complex as possible.
You can use a password management program to assist you when dealing with passwords.
With its help, you can save passwords and PINs in encrypted form, manage them and generate
secure passwords.
Note
