Tip of the Week April 27, 2026
Data security is often at the forefront of the news. We strive to make your Volgistics account secure behind the scenes, and prevent unauthorized users from gaining access by using three-part authentication for login, and security blocks to prevent repeated login attempts.
However, security experts feel that the greatest threat to security is the use of easy-to-guess passwords. Passwords such as the ones in this list make it easier for unauthorized users to gain access to your account. We encourage account Administrators to require strong passwords for System Operators. Experts recommend that passwords be at least 11 characters long. You can setup password strength requirements on the System Operator Ground Rules page and the VicNet Ground Rules page.
Please note that if an unauthorized user does obtain a password to gain access to one particular account, they will only have access to that account’s information. The data in other accounts is not accessible. Similarly, if a volunteer’s login information for VicNet is jeopardized, only that particular volunteer’s information is available in VicNet.
