INTRODUCTION

This article describes the fact that you cannot use double-byte characters in your password in Groove.

MORE INFORMATION

Groove Workplace 2.x and Groove Virtual Office 3.x use the Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) to provide support for double-byte character sets, such as kanji (Japanese) or Hangul (Korean). Because IME displays characters as the characters are constructed, IME is not secure. Therefore, IME is automatically disabled when password masking is invoked. You must use Latin characters for your password.
