General information about personal password security

Modified on Mon, 23 Oct, 2023 at 8:01 PM

We recommend using strong and complex passwords and in no case using a password that you already use elsewhere (for example, to log in to your email account).


The minimum password requirements for your account are:


- 11 to 20 characters

- letters including upper and lower case

- numbers

- No spaces

- Special characters*


* The following special characters are supported: ! # $ @ ? & % " ' + = ( ) / € - _ : , ; * < > [ ] { } \ | ~ £ ¥


Since complex passwords are often difficult to remember, we recommend that you look into using a password manager for yourself if you don't already use one. Some manufacturers, such as Apple, already offer a user-friendly solution with it's iOS password manager.


If you would like to learn more about what a secure password is, we refer you to the recommendations of the BSI - The Federal Office for Information Security.
