Good Practice
It is good policy to set a password to protect your data, even in 'safe'
environments such as at home. In the workplace, failure to apply an
appropriate password policy could leave you in breach of Data Protection
laws in some circumstances.
pgAdmin does not enforce any password restrictions, however we do
recommend that you consider the following guidelines when selecting
passwords. This is not an exhaustive list and will not guarantee
security.
- Ensure that passwords are of adequate length. 6 characters should be
the absolute minimum.
- Ensure that passwords are not easily guessable by others, or open to
dictionary attacks. Use a mixture of upper and lower case letters and
numerics, and avoid using words or names. Consider using the first letter
from each word in a phrase that you will rememeber easily but others will
not guess.
- Ensure that your password is change regularly - at least every ninety
days.
