How to use passwords correctly
You can improve your security substantially by following some important
rules regarding the use of passwords.
Keep your passwords as secret as possible.
Never write a password down. Popular, but completely unsuitable
storage options include notebooks, wallets and text files in comput-
ers. Do not pass on your password unnecessarily.
Select a random password.
Use random strings of letters and numbers. Passwords from common
language usage are not secure.
Change the password regularly or immediately if you feel it has been
compromised.
Passwords should be changed as frequently as possible. This
requires a little effort, but increases your security considerably.
Even if only the slightest indication of a leak exists, the password
should be changed.
Always use the internal device encryption for security. It is configured with
the MicroLink dLAN Configuration Wizard. For more information see the
'devolo tools' chapter.
