2.1.3 Setting your password

If you use FIT's public BSCW server, your password is sent over the Internet unencrypted.

For the security of your local computer system: don't use the same password for BSCW as on your local computer or for applications with confidential information.

To protect the information on the BSCW server accessible to you: choose a sufficiently secure password and change it regularly. (Remember that your user name -- the other part of your key to the information in your Workspaces -- is easy to find out.)

Section 2.6 describes how to change your password. Section 2.7 tells you how to enter a new BSCW password if you have forgotten your old one and cannot access your BSCW Workspaces and Folders any more.
