Password Requirements

Consider Strong Authentication Configuration provided in the WP500 Product.

Use Recommended Password Policy:

• Encourage the use of passwords that are at least 8 characters long.
• Prefer longer passwords (up to 64 characters or more) over complex ones.
• Enforcing composition rules (like requiring a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters).

• Prohibit commonly used, expected, or compromised passwords (like "password", "123456", etc.).
• Encourage the use of passphrases or passwords created using memorable yet uncommon phrases.
• Do not require periodic password changes unless there is evidence of compromise.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with TOTP

The WP500 incorporates Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP), adding an extra layer of security beyond just username and password.

TOTP generates a temporary code, usually accessible via a smartphone app or a hardware token, which changes at set intervals (typically every 30 seconds).

Users must enter both their regular password and the TOTP code to gain access, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access even if a password is compromised.
