Animana 3.17 contains enhancements to Data Security in Animana.

Important Password Changes

Protecting your customer’s data is of paramount importance, especially since GDPR went into effect in May. With this in mind, Animana is rolling out an industry standard authentication and authorization framework to manage passwords – after all, safer passwords mean safer data. Sometime within the first 4 weeks of this release, you will be prompted to create a new password. If you’re busy, you can snooze the password change for 30 days – after that, your account will be locked out and an admin user will need to create a new password for you.

In conjunction with the new strength and authentication requirements, we are improving and enforcing a new password policy in IDEXX Animana. Please note the following password requirements. Passwords must;

• be at least 10 characters long,
• contain one or more capital case letters (A-Z),
• contain one or more special characters, e.g. !@#$%^&*()_+|~-\`{}[]:”;'<>/
• contain one or more digits (0-9).

We hope you enjoy working with Animana 3.17. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to check the Knowledge Base or get in touch with Animana Customer Support.
