# Understanding Passwords

## Understanding Passwords

The Gift PayFacto application uses an Administrator password to prevent unauthorized access to certain functions. As a fraud prevention method, you can also require the Administrator password when a transaction requires the manual entry of the gift card number rather than swiping the card.&#x20;

Additionally, if you activate the **Enable waiters** function, each waiter will need to enter their unique password before they can perform a transaction. Refer to the [*Operator Management* section](/payfacto-knowledge/canada-doc-center/applications/payfacto-gift-datacandy/operator-management.md) for more information about the **Enable waiters** function.
