The password works.

Regarding the classification management principle of passwords, the draft clearly stipulates that passwords are divided into core passwords, ordinary passwords, and commercial passwords, and classification management is implemented. Correspondingly, the draft proposes the principle of password classification protection: the core password and the ordinary password are used to protect the state secret information. The highest level of the core password protection information is the top secret level, and the highest level of the ordinary password protection information is the secret level; the core password, The ordinary password belongs to the state secret, and the password management department implements strict and unified management according to law. Commercial passwords are used to protect information that is not a state secret; citizens, legal persons, and other organizations can use commercial passwords to protect networks and information security.
