General > Change the password

Users can logon with a user code and password.

The use of a password can be made mandatory by setting the option 'Password is required' in the General settings.

The number of days the password is valid can also be entered in the settings. If this period is expired, the user will be asked to change the password when Mill7 starts.

It is possible to contruct passwords as phrases, long sentences that are easy to remember, instead of using complex short passwords. This can also be arranged in the General settings.

When a password is required the password must meet the following requirements.

For normal (short) passwords:

–A minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 characters.

–At least 3 letters and at least 2 characters of another type like numbers, symbols or punctuation marks.

For phrases (long passwords):

–A minimum of 11 and maximum of 64 characters.

A new user has to set his password the first time he logged in.

A user can change his password via menu Bookkeeping > Change password.

The old password needs to be filled in, followed by twice the new password.

The user entries will be masked, but by clicking one of the eye symbols the entered values will temporarily be made readable.

When a user has forgotten his password he can choose the option 'I forgot my password' in the logon screen. The password will then be sent by e-mail to the e-mail address that was entered for the user.

User Superv

Mill7 comes with a free user named SUPERV that acts like the administrator user.

Because the SUPERV user has all rights, it is important to give the Superv user a password.

When logged in as SUPERV one can change a users password via menu Supervisor> Users> Change password.
