Control when password length and strength requirements go into effect.
You can choose to enforce password length and strength requirements either the next time a user changes their password or the next time they log in. The default is to start enforcement the next time a user changes their password. To change it, check the box next to “Start password policy enforcement at next sign in.”
Prompt users to change their passwords after a certain number of days.
If you’re unsure about whether or not you need to do this, we recommend you leave this setting as “Never.”
Prevent users from reusing old passwords.
To prevent password reuse, we recommend you leave the box for “Allow password reuse” unchecked. This is the default.
Each of these settings can be found in the Admin console under Security > Password management. As part of the launch we are also moving the password length (minimum and maximum) settings from the Basic Settings card to this new Password management card. For more information, visit the Help Center.
