Manage Password Settings

From the System Tools menu, click the Password Settings tab. Set the rules for your password management and complexity requirements here. Options include:

• Must change password on first login – You will give the user the default password for their first log in. Check off this option to force the user to create a new password.
• Must use at least one lowercase letter – Check off this option to require passwords to contain at least one lowercase letter.

• Must use at least one uppercase letter – Check off this option to require passwords to contain at least one uppercase letter.
• Must use at least one number - Check off this option to require passwords to contain at least one number.
• Must use at least one special character - Check off this option to require passwords to contain at least one special character, such as # $ or @.
• Minimum Length – Enter the minimum password length.
• Password Expiration – Enter the number of days until the password expires. When a password reaches the age specified, the user will be forced to change the password the next time they log in.
• Number of Stored Passwords– Select a number of passwords to be remembered by the system. Users will not be able to update their password to any of those stored. For example, if this setting is set at 3, a user could not change the password to any of three he or she most recently used.
• Lock Out Count – Set the number of unsuccessful login attempts that will lock out a user. If a user fails to login successfully a number of times equal to this setting, a balanceWORKS administrator must unlock the user. This is a security measure to help prevent unauthorized access to the system.
• Default Password – Select the password assigned to new users when they are added to the system. After you have made your selections, click Save to save the settings.
