Change Password for User

If you have LiveCompare Editor privileges, this screen may be accessed using the ‘Change Password...’ button on the User Profile screen. If you have Consumer privileges, it may be accessed using the ‘Change password’ link on the Profile screen. If an Administrator has set the ‘User must change password at next login’ option for your user account, the screen is displayed when you first log in to LiveCompare.

In each case, enter your current password, a new password, and the same new password for confirmation. Note that LiveCompare passwords are case-sensitive. Click ‘Save’ to save your changes.

Strong Passwords

The requirement for strong passwords may be set during the installation of LiveCompare, or afterwards by an Administrator in the Configuration - Security screen. A password must match all the following criteria to be considered strong:

• At least 8 characters.
• At least 1 upper case character.
• At least 1 lowercase character.
• At least 1 number.
• At least 1 special character from this list: ` ¬ ¦ ! " £ $ € ^ & * ( ) - = + [ ] { } ; : ' @ # ~ \ | < > , . / ? <space>

A label next to the password field indicates the strength of the password as you type it. The requirement for strong passwords applies to native accounts only, and not to the passwords for user accounts imported from an LDAP server.
