Password Policy (BOINC, BAM, Account Manager)

Hello,

I am using BOINC as agent to run WCG. I am managing everything accept WCG via an Account Manager for BOINC (BAM), personally i am using http://bam.boincstats.com

The problem is that the password policy of WCG is stricter then the BOINC standards. I have some special characters in the passwords of my other BOINC projects but i am not able to do this with WGC.

Problem arrises that now the BAM (BOINC Account Manager) isn't able to manage WCG because the BAM requires that all passwords for all projects are the same. And i'm refusing to change the passwords for my other projects because having special characters in it is good for security.

I suggest that the WGC password policy should change to the BOINC standards regarding password security. Otherwise only 2 out of 11 computers that are running BOINC under my account are running WGC as project.

Kind regards,

Martijn Kool

Simple alter your BOINC passwords to whatever you have it set on here at WCG.

WCG is not a standard BOINC project
