Password Policy

Password policy enforces the security by requering the users to use strong passwords Currently, two methods are supported:

classic

  • this mode of operation allows administrators to set the rules that user passwords must comply with
  • the available options are:
    • Minimum password length
    • Require Uppercase
    • Require Lowercase
    • Require Numbers
    • Require Special characters
  • when changing the password users must meet these rules

zxcvbn

  • this mode uses zxcvbn for password strength checking (see: https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn)
  • in this mode of operation, the user is not forced to follow any rules. the user is notified if their passwords is weak or strong
