User Authentication
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Account management Full [9] A Canon ID (account) is used to access and manage cloud printing services and other extended features.
Authentication Secure [10] Local device settings can be protected by an administrator password. Cloud access is protected by the Canon ID password.
Brute-force protection Exist [11] The Canon ID cloud service includes standard server-side protections against brute-force login attempts.
Event logging Partial logging [] The printer maintains a local job history log. Cloud account access events are logged by Canon's servers.
Passwords Require change after setup with complexity requirements [12] Creating a Canon ID requires a password meeting complexity rules. It is a security best practice for users to set a unique administrator password on the printer itself.
