7.5 Tips for Passwords
Passwords are assigned at various places in the user inter-
face to protect your settings and data in the FRITZ!Box. The
FRITZ!Box assists you in assigning secure passwords, for in-
stance when creating new users or configuring MyFRITZ!: A
graphic display indicates how secure the password is. Note
the following:
• Use a password rated as highly secure.
• Select a password with at least twelve characters, which
includes capitals and lower-case letters as well as nu-
merals and special characters.
• Under the search term “Characters for Passwords” the
Help of the FRITZ!Box user interface contains more infor-
mation about which characters you can use.
• Be sure to keep your passwords in a safe place!
• Configure the “Forgot Password” push service. This noti-
fication service sends you an access link at regular inter-
vals, with which you can access the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face even if you have forgotten your password. See Push
Services: Using Notification Services from page 140.
