Creating a secure password

When creating passwords, you must first follow any specifications that are set by the program. In general, however, consider the following guidelines to help you create strong passwords and reduce the chances of your password being compromised:

●Use passwords with more than 6 characters, preferably more than 8.

●Mix the case of letters throughout your password.

●Whenever possible, mix alphanumeric characters and include special characters and punctuation marks.

●Substitute special characters or numbers for letters in a key word. For example, you can use the number 1 for letters I or L.

●Combine words from 2 or more languages.

●Split a word or phrase with numbers or special characters in the middle, for example, “Mary2-2Cat45.”

●Do not use a password that would appear in a dictionary.

●Do not use your name for the password, or any other personal information, such as your birth date, pet names, or mother's maiden name, even if you spell it backwards.

●Change passwords regularly. You might change only a couple of characters that increment.

●If you write down your password, do not store it in a commonly visible place very close to the computer.

●Do not save the password in a file, such as an email, on the computer.

●Do not share accounts or tell anyone your password.

Backing up credentials and settings

You can back up credentials in the following ways:

●Use Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools to select and back up HP ProtectTools credentials.

●Use the Backup and Recovery tool in HP ProtectTools Security Manager as a central location from which you can back up and restore security credentials from some of the installed HP ProtectTools modules.
