Summary

Encryption of Candidate Passwords

What It Is: Candidate passwords are emailed to candidates in plain text upon registration and during email communications when the ‘Include Applicant Login Details in this Email’ option has been ticked. To reduce the risk associated with candidate passwords being viewed in plain text, candidate passwords will be encrypted and the tick box option “Include Applicant Login details in the email” will be removed from the Create and Preview email screen and at the email template level.

The Benefits: Encryption of candidate passwords for enhanced security.


Encryption of Candidate Passwords

This feature will be available following the deployment on the evening of Tuesday 15th October.
