Password less than the number set will not be allowed.

Allows for the setting of a maximum allowed password length.

Password greater than the limit set will not be allowed.

By default this is not enforced and there is no maximum password length required

By default this is not enforced and there is no capitol letter required

Require Number

Determines if a number is required in the password.

If set, the password must contain at least one number or the password will not be allowed.

By default this is not enforced and there is no numbers required

Password Expiration

The number of days until a user will be forced to change their password on next login.

If set, once the number of days has elapsed, the user will be required to change their password on the next login.

By default this is not enforced and a users password will never expire

Previous Passwords

The number of previous passwords the user should be prevented from re-using.

This option prevents the user from re-using any previous password used based on the number set.

For example, if the number is set to 2, the user would be prevented from re-using the previous two passwords used(including the current password)

By default this is not enforced and a user can re-use their password as many times as they would like.

Info

It is strongly suggested to utilize this option if you have a password expiration set, or the user will be able to reset their password to their current password.

Allow Special Characters

Determines if special characters are allowed in the password.

By default special characters are not allowed in the password.

Warning

PLEASE NOTE

Changes made in the Password Security options do not immediately invalidate users passwords. For example, if you changed the minimum password length to 5, users with a password length of 3 would still be able to utilize the password until they reset their password.
