Password guidelines for students

Rules and tips for passwords

The access data is used for several IT services. The user ID and password are valid for the following student services:

  • Access to own e-mail inboxes
  • Login to the HISinOne portal viaCampus
  • Login to the LMS Moodle
  • Access to the W-LAN

For this reason, it is essential to keep password security very high and to define basic rules for all users.

- upper and lower case letters

- at least one of the following special characters ( - ! ( # . $ : % = ? ) + * )
