# Can My Z/IP ONE Have a Password Longer Than 8 Characters?

## Scope

With the FCC Cybersecurity rule mandating that most remotely managed broadcast equipment support passwords of at least 15 characters, Telos often receives questions regarding our products’ compliance.

The Z/IP ONE does comply and the password can be 15 characters or more.

## How to Update

You can update your Z/IP ONE password via the **System** tab in the Web GUI:

Please note that despite the suggestion of a length between 5 and 8 characters, the Z/IP ONE fully supports passwords that are 15 characters or longer.

Simply type the new password in both fields and hit **Apply**.

A new password prompt will appear, where you can enter your updated credentials. “User” will rename the username.
