Key store passwords

In Key store password, you can create or change a key store password. A key store password helps protect private keys in the smartphone and VPN policy server connections from unauthorized use.

Creating or changing a key store password

You create a key store password when you install the first VPN policy. Create key store passwords that are long and difficult enough to help protect the information in the smartphone. If the key store password is broken, the enterprise network might be exposed to unauthorised access.

Tip: A key store password must be at least six characters long and can contain letters, numbers, and special characters.

To change the key store password, tap Set.

Enter a password that is easy for you to remember but difficult for anyone else to guess in New password:. To avoid typing errors, enter the password again in Verify password: and tap OK.
