The Password Policy window allows the policy for user passwords to be set.
Note that when the policy changes, it only applies the next time a user changes their password.
Existing passwords are unaffected, even if they don't meet the policy requirements.
To ensure passwords meet the policy:
The fields are as follows:
Minimum Length | The minimum password length. |
Require at least one uppercase character | If selected, passwords must contain at least one uppercase character from the Latin alphabet (A-Z) |
Require at least one lowercase character | If selected, passwords must contain at least one lower character from the Latin alphabet (a-z). |
Require at least one number | If selected, passwords must contain at least one number. |
Require at least one non-alphanumeric character |
If selected, passwords must contain at least one non-alphanumeric character: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ |
