How to improve security and prevent hacking of PRONOTE accounts?

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
• Mixing upper and lower case letters

Verify the rules defined in PRONOTE by going to the menu Parameters > General options > Security.

Caution, rule changes apply only to future customizations. To ensure that all passwords quickly comply with the new rules, it is necessary to force passwords to be changed.

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 options > Security.

Recommendation No.3: Make sure you have 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.

For example, don't use a single "AED (Educational assistant)" account for all Teaching assistants.
