Passkeys

Activate passkeys for authentication when logging in.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Set settings for secure two-factor authentication. We strongly recommend the use of 2FA. Find out more in this article.

Password security

By moving the slider upwards, you can further tighten the default security set by the system for password assignment.

  • Relevant length of the sequence
    Character strings such as 1234 or efgh are easy to decrypt. If "3" is set here, a maximum of two characters in the password may form a "sequence", i.e. 12 would be permitted, 123 would not.

  • Diversity
    The more different characters it contains, the more difficult it is to decrypt a password. A value of 60% means that the password must contain at least 60% different characters. This means, for example, that a 10-character password must contain at least 6 different characters.

  • Dictionary matching
    "Real" words are easier to decrypt than random character strings. If dictionary matching is "mandatory", this means that passwords that appear in a dictionary are not permitted.

Password validity

Passwords should be changed occasionally. You can restrict the validity here by ticking the checkbox.

Zones

You can restrict access or use of the application to certain IP ranges. To do this, you can define zones that contain one or more IP addresses and address ranges.

You can manage and edit IP zones via Add, Edit and Remove .

You have various options when entering IP zones:

  • Individual IP addresses
    120.131.110.101

  • All IP addresses
    *

  • Bereiche
    120.131.110.101-120.131.110.111

  • Areas with wildcards
    101.123.*-101.125.* or 101.101.101.*-101.101.110.* or 120.10* (corresponds to 120.10.*)

You assign these IP zones to the users during user setup or subsequently. If you assign several zones to a user, these are to be seen as "additive".
