Password policies

Modify the password policies (the default policy is strong).

none

  • There is no specific control over the password entered, but minimum length is 7 characters

strong

The strong policy requires that the password must comply with the following rules:

  • Minimum length of 7 characters
  • Contain at least 1 number
  • Contain at least 1 uppercase character
  • Contain at least 1 lowercase character
  • Contain at least 1 special character
  • At least 5 different characters
  • Must be not present in the dictionaries of common words
  • Must be different from the username
  • Can not have repetitions of patterns formed by 3 or more characters (for example the password As1.$ AS1. $ is invalid)
