What are the requirements for password administration?

Use a Password Manager

We require that Shoot Producers use a password manager (for example, 1Password, DashLane, Keeper, NordPass). We use and recommend LastPass, but all services are good.

These can automatically insert usernames and passwords into sites, can be used across platforms (desktop / laptop / tablet / phone), and mean you only, ever have to remember one password – the password for the Password Manager. This means, more complex passwords can be used for all web services, meaning they will be more secure.

Set secure passwords

Passwords used for access services the company provides must be appropriately secure. Shoot producers have extensive access to private data about models, which must be kept secure.

Secure passwords must be 14 characters long, and have uppercase, lowercase, numbers and punctuation / special characters. An example password;

2!KV7pV$K=7tze

(do not use this password, it’s just an example!) This password is very secure, and difficult to remember (that’s why we use password managers, so we don’t have to remember them!).

What’s a “Passphrase”

The Homonoia application requires a “pass phrase” that is used when the Shoot producer has the model complete their work on the Shoot Producer’s smartphone. So the model cannot access the Shoot Producer part of Homonoia, the pass phrase must be entered by the Shoot Producer.

This does not need to be especially secure – the name of a pet, musician, city are all fine.
