Managing passwords

VSA 10 allows you to manage passwords in a few easy steps.

Strong password requirements

Make sure to create a strong password that is not too common or easy to guess.

Administrators configure specific password requirements in the account security settings via Administration > Configuration > Security > Password Complexity section. Refer to Password Complexity in Managing general account settings. Password requirements are as follows:

  • Must be a certain number of characters long (between 8 and 100 characters).
  • Must contain a certain number of digits (between 1 and 100 digits).
  • May or may not require at least one lowercase letter.
  • May or may not require at least one uppercase letter.
  • May or may not require a certain number of special characters (symbols).

The configured password requirements are displayed when users create or change passwords. An entered password will not be accepted until all requirements are met.
