Your website security depends on all user accounts remaining secure. When creating a new user, your CMS will assign a password to the user automatically. You can also choose to manually specify a password.
We recommend you allow your system to choose the password for you. The current version uses a random sequence of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols and generates a password of approximately 16 characters in length. This is a very strong password.
When your website automatically assigns a password to the user, as you create the account the system will email a link to your new user’s email address. The email includes a “password reset” link that will bring the new user to the site and provide them with the option to choose the strong password created by your website, or to specify their own password.
This method of user creation is secure and provides your new site members with strong passwords. We don’t recommend that you manually assign them passwords based on english words. These passwords are easier to guess and to crack.
