Operations Menu - Change Password

If you are using the HansaWorld Enterprise Web Shop facility and a Contact is a Customer who will be placing Orders over the web, you should use this function to give them a password. You should also check the Allow Login box on the 'Terms' card of the Customer's Contact record. The Contact will be able to use their Contact Number or email address as Login IDs.

To set a password for a Customer, highlight their name in the 'Contacts: Browse' window and select 'Change Password' from the Operations menu. The following window is opened:

Enter the old password if there is one and then type in the new one twice to ensure that it is correct. Passwords are case-sensitive. Press the Shift-Enter key combination to close the window and save: use the close box if you do not want to save changes. The password is case-sensitive.

If you want create a random password and send it to the Customer in a Mail, open the Contact record and select 'Create Random Password Mail' from the Operations menu.

If you want to set rules for passwords (e.g. to impose a minimum number of characters, or to require at least one alpha or numeric character), use the Password Security setting in the System module.
