SAP Password Policy

The German company SAP AG has developed a policy for passwords that is set by default for all reference systems developed by SAP.

A password in compliance with the SAP passwords policy contains:

1. at least eight characters (the more, the better)

2. at least three of the following elements:

• Capitcal letters (A-Z)

• Small letters (a-z)

• Numbers (0-9)

• Special characters (*,+,&,%, etc.)

NOTE: The master password may not be identical with the user ID employed in SAP. This SAP user ID consists of a letter (D, I or C) followed by a six-digit number.
