 Hi all,



I have had a question about relaxing password restrictions for special
needs students. Some suffer shakiness, memory loss and other special
requirements.



How are other institutes handling access for those students:

·         Where reliably entering  passwords is an issue?

·         Short term memory retention may be an issue?

It has a dual mode option where one can be setup for OTP and the other can
be a lengthy static password.

Thanks,
Will
