Prevent Reuse of User ID
The system administrator can configure the printer to prohibit the reuse of a previous user ID
value for a specified amount of time since the user ID was last used, from 1–999 days. The system
administrator can change the number of days through the Embedded Web Server.
Auto User ID Disablement
The printer disables the user accounts that have not logged in to the printer for a specified period.
The system administrator can specify the number of days, from 1–999 days. If your account is
locked after a period of time and you cannot access the printer, contact your system administrator
for assistance.
Password Complexity
When you change a password, the printer restricts the number of characters that you can reuse
from the previous password. The system administrator specifies the maximum number of
characters that can be reused, from 1–63. The printer rejects any new password that exceeds the
specified maximum number of reused characters. If you are changing your password and
encounter an error, contact your system administrator and comply with the password complexity
requirements for your printer.
For example, if the maximum number of characters is set to 3 characters, a password of
TEST123
cannot be changed to
TEST444
, because it contains four characters from the previous password.
A password of
GOOD123
is valid, because it contains three characters from the previous password.
Reuse of Password
To prohibit the reuse of recent passwords, the system administrator can specify the interval before
a user can reuse a password. The interval range is from 1–10. If you are changing your password
and encounter an error, contact your system administrator and comply with the password
complexity requirements for your printer.
Temporary Password
After the system administrator creates a user account or changes or resets the account password
using one of the following options, when you log in, the printer can prompt a password change:
•
Add
•
Edit
•
Reset Password
When the option is enabled, the password set by the system administrator is regarded as a
temporary password. When you are logged in with a temporary password, the printer prompts you
to change the password. As a security feature, you are required to change your password before
the first login at the printer. Until the temporary password is changed, remote authentication
attempts through EIP or SNMP fail for the user. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
User Account Lock-out
After a specified number of invalid login attempts for a user account, the printer locks out the
account. If you do not log in to the printer for a long period of time, your account can be disabled
automatically. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
