# Passwords

## Passwords

The Secure Payment application's payment module allows you to assign passwords to protect the terminal from unauthorized use. All terminal passwords are 6 numeric (numbers only) characters in length to provide security without slowing down the overall time it takes to process a transaction.

The terminal has 3 types of user passwords:

* **Administrator (Admin)**: Configured during initial terminal activation
* **Merchant**: Configured during initial terminal activation
* **Operator**: Configured when creating one or more terminal operators
