Password policies

The Swiss21 portal enforces minimum password requirements to ensure the security of all user accounts.

Requirements

Your password must meet the following criteria:

• At least 8 characters long
• At least one uppercase letter (A-Z)
• At least one lowercase letter (a-z)
• At least one number (0-9)

Recommendations

In addition to the minimum requirements, we recommend:

• Using at least 12 characters — longer passwords are significantly more secure
• Including special characters (e.g. !@#$%&)
• Using a password manager to create a unique password for each service
• Not reusing your password — use a dedicated password for Swiss21
• Changing your password regularly, especially if you suspect it may have been compromised

Avoiding common mistakes

• Do not use personal information (name, date of birth, company name)
• Avoid simple patterns like "123456", "Password1", or keyboard sequences
• Do not share your password via email or chat

Forgotten your password?

If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" on the login page. You will receive an email with a link to reset it. This link is valid for a limited time only.

Additional protection

A strong password alone is not enough. Combine it with two-factor authentication (2FA) via an authenticator app. This keeps your account protected even if your password is compromised.
