Rules for a strong password¶
Protecting your account starts with a strong password. In Data X-Ray, passwords need to follow these rules:
- Must contain at least 8 characters (max. 32 characters).
- Must have a mixture of letters and numbers.
- Does not allow number sequences of 4 or more numbers.
- Does not allow whitespaces.
Multi-factor authentication
An administrator may require all users to use multi-factor authentication when logging into the application or console. Users must configure an authentication application by scanning a QR and providing a TOTP code in order to log into the application.
Tips for a strong password¶
Here are some tips to help keep your information secure:
- Use at least 12 characters: longer passwords are harder to crack.
- Mix it up: combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (like !, @, #, or $).
- Avoid common words and patterns: skip obvious choices like "password123", your name, or birthdate.
- Use unique passwords: don’t reuse the same password across different sites or applications.
