Usable characters for user names and passwords

The following characters can be used for login user names and passwords. Names and passwords are case-sensitive.

Login user name

  • Cannot contain spaces, colons or quotation marks.

  • Cannot be left blank.

  • Can be up to 32 characters long.

  • The login user name of an administrator must contain characters other than numerical characters (numbers) if it is up to 8 characters. If it consists of only numbers, 9 or more must be used.

Login password

  • The maximum password length for administrators and supervisors is 32 characters and 128 characters for users.

  • There are no restrictions on the types of characters that can be used for a password. For security, it is recommended to create passwords consisting of uppercase or lowercase characters, numbers, and symbols. A password consisting of a large number of characters is less easily guessed by others.

  • In [Password Policy] in [Extended Security], you can specify a password consisting of uppercase or lowercase characters, numbers, and symbols, as well as the minimum number of characters to be used for the password. For details about specifying the password policy, see "Password Policy" in Specifying the Extended Security Functions.
