Reset password

With this menu option you can reset your password.

Fill in your current password in the "Old password" box. Click the eye icon next to the box if you want to check that you have entered the password correctly. If you use this button then make sure noone is watching, since your password is a secret that should only be known to you.

Enter the new password twice in the "New password" and "Retype new password" box.

The new password needs to comply to the following rules. It has to be at least 10 characters long. It must contain both uppercase and lowercase letters, at least one digit and at least one special character like !@#$%.

So this password is good

Then click the button "Change password". The system will notify you that your password is changed.

Passwords are stored in the ITR in the database. It is not stored as plain text, but as a so called hash code. This is a numeric representation of your password. It is very difficult te decrypt the password, so you will not be able to view your password anywhere in the ITR once you have set it. This works the same for test taking candidates.

How does this work then? If you login to the ITR you enter your user id and password. These are sent to the server over an encrypted connection, eavesdropping on this connection is virtually impossible. The server will calculate the hash code (numeric representation) of your password and compare it to the numeric representation in the database. If they match then you can log in. With these measures and the password policy of at least 10 characters the ITR system helps you to keep your data safe.
