Passwords/Passcodes

Recommendations to optimize cybersecurity in a protected environment:

• Document and store passwords/passcodes and user names in a protected location.

• Change the default passwords/passcodes to help reduce unauthorized access (Refer to Configuring the display passcode and Changing user account password). Default account settings are often the source of unauthorized access by malicious users.

• Use complex passwords/passcodes or passphrases between 8 and 16 characters with at least 1 number, 1 capital letter and 1 special character.

• Follow user account management tasks as described by your organization or contact your network administrator, for example, maximum password age or history policies.
