About User Preferences
User preferences control the information about you as a user on the Cisco Unity Connection system and some
of the choices you make for interacting with the system.
Changing Your PIN
Your Cisco Unity Connection PIN protects the privacy of your messages and secures your mailbox from
unauthorized access. You can change your PIN at any time.
Follow the security guidelines provided by your Connection administrator when you change your PIN. In
general, shorter passwords are easier to use, but longer passwords are more secure, especially when you
specify a nontrivial password. A nontrivial password means that:
• The password cannot contain your primary extension or its reverse.
• The password must contain at least three different digits.
• The digits cannot all be consecutive in ascending or descending order (for example, 12345 or 54321).
• A digit cannot be used more than two times consecutively (for example, 14777).
• The password cannot contain repeated groups of three or more digits (for example, 408510408).
• The password cannot be a numeric representation of your first or last name, or the combination of your
first and last names. (For example, if your name is John Doe, you could not use a numeric representation
of johnd, johndoe, jdoe, doe.)
