# Passwords

## Passwords

The Gift PayFacto application 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 2 types of user passwords:

* **Administrator (Admin)**
* **Operator**
