Initial Password Style: Choosing a complex, strong password is essential in keeping unauthorised people from assessing your data. A good password has the following characteristics:
- It is hard for someone else to guess
- It is easy for you to remember
- It is not reused on another website
Wise Owl Legal can automatically generate you a passphrase to use as your password. A passphrase is a series of unrelated words strung together, for example ‘correct horse battery staple’.
Roles: A quick way to allocate individual user rights is by selecting the most appropriate user role.
