Detailed explanation 

Passwords in N-Tracking

Your user name and password combine together to form your digital key in N-Tracking. This key determines your access rights within the application and as such should be kept safe from other people. Please follow the following best practices with your username and password:

• Never share either your user name or password with other people.
• Always change your password on a regular basis, especially if you think it has been compromised for any reason.
• Use a mixture of lowercase and uppercase characters as a minimum.
• Try not to use real words or words that can be easily guessed as your password.

ATTENTION 

Changing passwords can feel inconvenient, and keeping track of them all is not always easy, but the consequence of not doing this can be high.
 

Imagine an air incident occurred, and your username and password were discovered publicly online. What impact could that have on you personally, and how might your management team respond if the breach were traced back to your account?

HINT 

Passwords must be a minimum of eight (8) characters long and also contain at least one (1) number. It's a good idea to mix lowercase and uppercase characters as well.

Click the user name dropdown button.

Click the User Settings menu item.

Click the Password menu item.

For the purposes of this demonstration we are initially going to enter a password that is only seven characters long.

 You'll see what happens if you don't meet the minimum password requirements.

HINT 

Passwords are case sensitive. 

Enter f42g8FDr into the Old password field.

Enter Qx31fTt into the New password field.

Enter Qx31fTt into the Confirm password field.

Click the Save button.

HINT 

As we didn't enter a minimum of eight characters, this error message is expected.

 The good news is that we don't have to retype the whole password, we can simply append an additional character to the "New password" and "Confirm password" input fields. 

Let's add that required additional character.

Enter 5 into the New password field.

Enter 5 into the Confirm password field.

Click the Save button.

SUCCESS 

Congratulations! The password has now been changed. You'll need to use it the next time you log in to N-Tracking.

 Meanwhile, you can continue to use the application as usual without having to log out.
