How-to: ReadykeyPro Password Restrictionsin version prior to 6.4


What restrictions are there on passwords in ReadykeyPro?

Solution

Password Standards

When creating a strong password keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • Passwords cannot be blank
    • Passwords cannot be the same as the user name (e.g. SA, SA)
    • Passwords cannot be Bosch keywords (e.g. multimedia, Bosch, Prokupets,Prokupet, basis, and password)
    • Although not required, your password should contain numbers, letters, andsymbols. Spaces are also acceptable. (e.g. august 18, 1967)
    • ReadykeyPRO passwords are not case-sensitive.
    • Database passwords conform to the rules of the specific database being used;SQL Server uses case insensitive passwords.
    • The maximum value for a strong password is 127 characters. The minimum value is 1.

  • NOTE - These password restrictions were valid BEFORE rdkypro version 6.4. They more than likely have changed since then.
