Plain text authentication

If you have disabled plain text authentication and your netBook cannot log in to your Internet service, you’ll see the message:

Internet service server only allows plain text authentication

This means that in order to log in to this server you have to enable plain text authentication.

Using plain text authentication means your password is sent to the server without being encrypted first. You may consider this to be a security risk: contact your Internet service provider if you are in doubt.

To enable plain text authentication:

1.Open the Internet section of the Control panel in the System screen.

2.Select your Current Internet service and tap the Edit button.

3.On the Advanced page, tick the Allow plain text authentication box.
