Account Security

The Account Security section allows administrators to define and enforce key security policies related to user authentication and password management. This includes setting rules for password complexity, expiration policies, and login attempt limits to ensure a secure environment across the platform.

With customizable options, you can define minimum requirements for password structure—such as length, character types, and expiration cycles—as well as determine how many failed login attempts are allowed before an account is locked. These settings help your organization meet internal security standards and compliance requirements while maintaining user account safety.

All changes made in this section directly impact how users access their accounts and help strengthen overall data protection within the system.

• Min Length (required) – Enter the minimum number of characters required for passwords or use the counter.
