exploited to adversely affect or reduce the operation or security of the parameterization
or device software. Honeywell reviews all reports about vulnerabilities relating to

9.1.2 Implement stringent password guidelines
Since various types of attacks on passwords take place these days, Honeywell
recommends that best practices for password management are used. Here are a few
time-tested methods:
•
Always change standard passwords.
•
Use secure passwords.
(When assigning passwords, always use a combination of upper and lower case
letters, numbers and special symbols. Furthermore, protection increases with
the length of the password. A secure password always consists of at least eight
characters.)
Document any changes from time-tested methods.
If your system does not allow one of these time-tested methods to be used,
Honeywell recommends that this should be documented. For example, if special
symbols such as the equals sign “=” are not allowed in passwords.
