The initial password established for new users to access system services are temporary and the new users are required to immediately change their password at the point of first login before they utilise the system. 

Passwords need to conform to the following standards:

  • Length: at least 8-character in length.

  • Minimum of one upper case characters (A through Z).

  • Lower case characters (a through z).

  • Numeric characters (0 through 9).

  • Special characters; e.g. ! “ £ $ % ^ & * ( ) + = - _ < >.

The password management system will prompt the employees to change all user-level passwords every 90 days to ensure that all passwords are changed regularly. New passwords must be different from the previous one.

Three consecutive incorrect attempts to login shall cause the system to display a CAPTCHA. 

Users and/or companies can enable two-factor authentication using SMS or e-mail.
