Customers who have used weak passwords for example, ‘password’ or ‘12345’, have allowed spammers to easily guess their password.

The unauthorised access is then used it to send unsolicited emails that could lead to the blacklisting of customer’s account. This not only tarnishes the reputation of the customer and their business but also Hetzner’s reputation.

konsoleH now assists customers by enforcing strong passwords on mailbox creation or when changing your existing password. These measures have been put in place to protect your online assets.

A strong password requires the following:

  • 8 characters or more
  • at least one numerical character
  • at least one alphabetical character
