Password strength
Password strength feature is essential for maintaining the security of user accounts in your portal. Administrators can configure password requirements to ensure that all users follow a consistent standard for password security. This feature is available for Growth and Professional pricing plans.
When the Password strength feature is disabled, standard requirements are applied to password, which provide a basic level of security. In this case, passwords meet a single criterion: the password length. The password must be at least 12 and no more than 128 characters in length.
When the password is reset, a new one will be automatically sent to the user. It will have a fixed length of 12 characters.
