Password complexity

Fudo PAM enables defining static passwords complexity enabling you to enforce passwords that meet your internal regulations.


Defining password complexity

  1. Select Settings > System.
  2. In the User authentication and sessions section, select Password complexity to enforce defined rules.

Note

Enabling password complexity will trigger password change for users with the Enforce static password complexity option enabled whose passwords do not comply with the complexity settings. The password will have to be changed upon logging into the User Portal.
