Login credentials are the pieces of information required to uniquely authenticate and log in a user to an IT system. They typically consist of a username or identifier and an authentication factor, such as a password or a digital certificate.

In logistics, login credentials enable secure access to systems such as warehouse management, transportation management, or DWS systems. They ensure that only authorized individuals or applications can access functions and data. Secure management of login credentials helps protect sensitive company and process data.

Practical example:

Before commissioning a DWS system, the operator logs in with their personal login credentials to record measurement data and use system functions.
