The organization should have defined guidelines for the generally acceptable use of data systems and for the management of the necessary credentials.

In addition, the owners of data systems classified as 'High' or 'Critical' priority can define, document, and implement more specific guidelines for the use of that particular data system. These guidelines can describe e.g. security requirements related to the data contained in the system.

The password management system allows the user in a registration situation to decide how complex a password is to be set this time and to remember it on behalf of the user.

When using the password management system, e.g. the following principles:

• the system will force the use of unique passwords in the future
• the system warns the user to change old recurring passwords
• the system forces you to choose passwords that are complex enough, of high quality
• the system forces the user to change the temporary password the first time they log on
• the system forces you to change the password that may have been compromised in the data leak
• the system prevents the same passwords from being reused
• the system keeps password files separate from other data and strongly encrypted

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) helps protect devices and data. To apply it, users must have more information in the identity management system than just an email address - for example, a phone number or an attached authenticator application (e.g. Microsoft, Google, or LastPass Authenticator).
