Managers should only be allowed to enter new employees for their particular store, so store ID is not really necessary. When a new employee is entered, the manager should assign a password immediately for the new employee and then inform the employee of the password so they can then change it. This should hopefully prevent somebody else from logging onto the new employee account before a password has been added. Passwords should be a minimum of 5 letters/digits long.

A password should never be cleared so to speak, because this allows anyone to log on if the password is null. A manager should not clear but rather modify the password to something else, which they will inform the employee of, so that they can change it. Reminder passwords are a minimum of 5 characters long.
