Password Policy

The Password Policy tab allows Super Admins to configure password complexity requirements that apply to all Cloud Exchange users.

Configuration Settings

Go to Settings > Users > Password Policy to configure the following settings:

• Minimum Length: Minimum number of characters required (default: 8).
• Maximum Length: Maximum number of characters allowed (default: 72).
• Require Uppercase Letters: Password must contain at least one uppercase letter (default: enabled).
• Require Lowercase Letters: Password must contain at least one lowercase letter (default: enabled).
• Require Numeric Digits: Password must contain at least one number (default: enabled).
• Require Special Characters: Password must contain at least one special character (default: enabled).

Default Policy: Minimum 8 characters, Maximum 72 characters, with Uppercase, Numeric, and Special characters required.

Common Use Cases

• Increase Security: Increase the minimum password length (like from 8 to 12 characters) for enhanced security.
• Compliance Requirements: Adjust character requirements to meet your organizational security standards.
• Reset Policy: Click Reset to Defaults to restore the default policy settings.

Policy Enforcement

Password policies are automatically enforced when:

• New User Creation: Super Admins must set an initial password that complies with the policy.
• Password Changes: Users must follow the policy when changing their password.
• Policy Updates: When the password policy is changed, all existing users will be prompted to change their password on their next login (similar to first-time login behavior).
