14.1 Requirements for a Secure System Password
You increase the security of your password with the following measures:
• Select passwords containing at least eight characters.
• Use combinations of upper-case and lower-case letters, special characters and numbers.
• Do not use names or common words (e.g. "dog", "cat", "house").
• For the password, avoid using words that have any personal relevance to you such as the
names of persons or pets, personnel numbers, identification numbers or car license plates.
• Do not repeat names or words (e.g. "househouse" or "catcat").
• Do not use combinations of numbers or letters in the same order as they appear on your
keyboard (e.g. "12345", "qwert").

this reason, a password used for all devices in a system is called a system password.

SunnyExplorer, SunnyHomeManager) if all devices have the same password.
You must define the system password in SunnyPortal when you register the SunnyHomeManager
