The TUaccount password must be chosen by the user. It applies to the use of the PCs in the Internet rooms and the account on the student server. You can use it to register with TISS as well as for communication services (e.g. TUwlan, TUvpn, eduroam).

The password shall be at least 12 characters long and contain 1 capital letter, 1 lower case letter. 1 digit and special characters, avoiding any diacritic character (umlauts) and limited to such that could be easily entered even on different keyboard layouts and might be chosen from characters like  , . ; : = _ # % & ! which haven't any issue with typical character set encodings.

Never use a combination of a name or word out of a dictionary (of any language) with a number ('Word274', '274Word')!

Avoid direct character repetitions ('aaa', '111') as well as ascending and descending character sequences ('abc', 'cba', '123', '321').

For security reasons, passwords that can be clearly attributed to your identity (such as name, year of birth, matriculation number), as well as 'tuwien', 'wien', 'tuvienna', 'vienna' will be rejected.
