Tips for choosing passwords

General Information

Every user needs a password for their identification. We recommend using letters and numbers for security reasons. Permitted characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, $, and _. The password must contain at least 8 characters. Passwords that only consist of letters or even known words or names are not safe enough and therefore not allowed.
