Using the Passwords Tab

How to use the Passwords tab

Use the Passwords tab to configure settings for users who authenticate using traditional login methods instead of single sign-on (SSO). You can define password requirements such as complexity rules, expiration periods, minimum length, and other security-related parameters specific to non-SSO authentication.

1. From the Configuration menu, click Security Settings to open the Security page. Click Passwords.
   

2. In the Minimum Length field, specify the minimum length for passwords used by non-SSO users. For numeric-only passwords, we recommend a minimum of 6 characters. For alphanumeric passwords, we recommend a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 64 characters.

3. Select the types of character complexities to enforce. Options include Alpha Characters, Numeric Characters, Special Characters, Uppercase and Lowercase.

4. Toggle Set Days to Expire to enable password expiration. Enter the number of days after which users will be automatically logged out and prompted to change their password.

5. Toggle Enforce Password History to prevent users from reusing previous passwords. Toggle No Repeats to block immediate password reuse. In the Allow Repeats after Count field, specify how many previous passwords should be remembered and restricted. 

6. Toggle Set Maximum Attempts to limit the number of invalid login attempts. Specify the maximum number of attempts allowed and the lockout duration (in minutes) if that limit is exceeded.
7. Click Save to save your settings.
