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
Services: Using Notification Services
•
If you lose your password for the user interface, you will
have to restore the factory settings to the FRITZ!Box and,
for reasons of security, reconfigure all of your personal
settings for your Internet connection, your telephone
system and your home network. See
