# Passwords Passwords are increasingly being enforced and regularly requested. This can be annoying during project processing. The PM offers the option of storing a project password for each project. This can be set in the project settings. You can also create a new password directly. This is automatically generated in a complex 16-digit format. Some problem characters/symbols are not used. From this point onwards, you can copy the password to the clipboard at any time using a button in the "Project selection" menu and paste it anywhere. This makes everyday life much easier, especially with ETS-Secure and GPA projects. You can also retrieve the password of a checked-in project without having to check out the project. You will find a corresponding button in the "Memory selection" menu. You can also activate the "Copy password to clipboard" option in the PM settings to automatically copy the password to the clipboard when selecting a project. If you need a password without having to assign it to a project, you will find a button at the top right of the main menu. **TIP** - Always work carefully when assigning passwords. We recommend that you check that you have entered the correct password before carrying out any further work in order to avoid losing data.
