Using Application Passwords

In addition to your groupware login method, you can use additional application passwords that are limited for certain apps and devices. This method has the following advantages:
  • The clients can access specific groupware functions only. This enhances the security for the user.
  • In the groupware settings you can view the clients and devices you created passwords for.
  • You can delete passwords and prevent a client access, e.g. when losing a device.
You have the following options:
  • create a new application password for a specific app
  • show or delete existing application passwords
How to use application passwords:
    Click the Settings icon in the menu bar. Click on All settings.The Settings window opens.
    Click on Security in the left pane.Click on Application Passwords.
