How can I increase security and prevent HYPERPLANNING accounts from being hacked?
Account piracy refers to a malicious individual taking control of an account to the detriment of its rightful owner. All HYPERPLANNING cases involve identity theft, through the theft of usernames and passwords.

Recommendation No. 1: Follow CNIL (French Data Protection Authority) recommendations for passwords
Currently, the CNIL imposes on users a minimum size of 10 characters and 3 complexity criteria:
- At least one special character,
- At least one letter,
- Mixture of upper and lower case letters.
Verify the rules defined in HYPERPLANNING by going to the menu Parameters > General Parameters > Security.
Caution, rule changes apply only to future personalizations. To ensure that all passwords used quickly comply with the new rules, it is necessary to force passwords to be changed.
Recommendation No. 2: Encourage the use of dual authentication
Double authentication is an effective security measure that requires teachers and staff to enter a 4-digit PIN code when logging on from a new device.
In practical terms, this prevents a student who has stolen a teacher's password from logging on from home.
You can propose or impose this double authentication in the menu Parameters > General Parameters > Security.

Recommendation No. 3: Make sure there is one user = one account = one password
To find out who has performed a malicious action, make sure that each user has his/her own account.
