# Password Security Rules

Under the *Password Security Rules* tab, a number of rules can be configured. When activated, these security rules can appear in the following areas of the web application:

1. Login
2. When creating a tenant (tenant administrator)
3. When creating a user
4. When changing the password of a user or administrator

The security of a password depends on its length, complexity, and predictability. For a robust password, the Configurator offers you the following configuration options:

### Enabled

When this checkbox is enabled, all subsequent settings will be applied in the web application.

### Minimum Password Length

Here you can specify the minimum number of characters the password must contain. The recommendation is at least 6 characters.

### Minimum Stronger Password Length

Specifies the minimum number of characters required for a stronger password. The recommendation is at least 10 characters.

### Number of Unique Characters

Specifies the number of characters that must not be repeated in the password.

### Lowercase Letter Required

When this option is enabled, the password must contain at least one lowercase letter.

### Uppercase Letter Required

When this option is enabled, the password must contain at least one uppercase letter.

### Number Required

When this option is enabled, the password must contain at least one digit. A digit is in the range from 0 to 9.

### Special Character Required

When this option is enabled, the password must contain at least one special character. A special character can be: #+\*! etc.

### Password History Length

The password history contains the last X number of passwords. Thus, a password that is still contained in the password history cannot be reused. The password history is updated with each new entry.

### Password Expiration in Days

With this option, you can specify (in days) how many days the password should expire. After the time expires, the password must be renewed by the user.

### Password Expiration Warning in Days

With this option, you can specify (in days) how many days before the password expires a corresponding warning message should be displayed.

#### Example:

*Password Expiration in Days: 95*

*Password Expiration Warning in Days: 5*

*Result: Starting 5 days before the password expires, the user receives a corresponding warning message each time they log in to the web application.*
