VSC password requirements
A combination of complexity and length makes a secure password!Since your certificates are like an identity card, they are particularly worthy of protection.
The technical requirements for the password are:
- Minimum length: 8 characters
- at least three of the following criteria should be met
- uppercase characters (including diacritcs, etc.)
- lowercase characters (including diacritcs, etc.)
- numerals
- special ASCII characters ( ' - ! " # $ % & ( ) * , . / : ; ? @ [ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ + < = > )
- special unicode characters
Attention: Only fulfilling the minimum technical requirements results in a password of only approx. 47 bits.
Please note that there may be legal requirements for you to use more complex passwords (e.g. 128 bits).
The recommended password length in this case is 22 characters.
