At AAL level 1 only single-factor authentication is required, typically through the use of a password (something you know). The security of passwords (or credentials in general) is of utmost importance, this includes both secure storage (using a key-derivation function and such) as well as corresponding processes, e.g. having a secure password-reset flow.
