Password
From Wikanual
Passwords are used throughout the INTERDUBS system to guard access to the admin interface and if so desired to the client pages.

Client Pages
Client pages, logins or reels can have a password. In the
add login
screen a password can be assigned.
Reels created in quickReel will have an automatic random password assigned.
You can change the password of a login or reel via the
edit login
screen.
Client page password requirements
You can decide for each login -or via a look or segment configuration- if and how a password should be required before access.
The setting is called
client needs to enter name/password
and its possible values are are explain on client passwords in more detail.
Unique combination of login and password
INTERDUBS will reject the creation of a new login if one with the same password already exists. Accessing client pages via the login page would not yield meaningful results otherwise.
Password quality evaluation
INTERDUBS will evaluate the quality of the password that you are entering in the add login form while you type it.
Password quality required

Default password
Via the segment configuration it is possible to set a default password. There are a couple special values that can be used here. See default password for details.
Case sensitivity

client login and password case sensitive
