Advanced 
Account 
Security

Turn on advanced account security to enforce tighter security for the 
ZyXEL Device’s user accounts. This includes:

• The user names must be a minimum length of six characters and 

include both letters and numbers. 

• The number of dots that appears when you type the password in the 

login screen’s password field changes randomly to prevent anyone 

watching the password field from knowing the length of your 

password. 

• The ZyXEL Device notifies users when their passwords expire and 

forces them to change to a new one in order to log in.

• The new password the user selects cannot match any of the user’s 

three previously used passwords.
