Effective from Doors.NET v_4.0.2 is it now possible to increase the required strength of the operator passwords. Once set, all operator passwords will be required to meet the minimum password level.

Doors.NET has a default password of admin - which, of course, is very weak and so Keri recommends that you change the password and increase the required password level at the earliest opportunity.

There are various factors that determine the strength of a password, not just one item. For example, the number of characters is one factor, however, entering the same character consecutively will decrease the password strength.

2.0 Items that Increase The Password Strength:

• Number of Characters
• Uppercase Letters
• Lowercase Letters
• Numbers
• Symbols
• Middle Numbers or Symbols
• Requirements - Meeting the requirements of :
  - Minimum 8 characters in length
  - Contains 3/4 of the following items: (uppercase Letters, lowercase letters, numbers, symbols)
  

3.0 Items that Decrease the Password Strength:

• Letters Only
• Numbers Only
• Repeat Characters (Case Insensitive)
• Consecutive Uppercase Letters
• Consecutive Lowercase Letters
• Consecutive Numbers
• Sequential Letters (3+)
• Sequential Numbers (3+)
• Sequential Symbols (3+)
