Password quality

Overview

Password quality policies provide a way to enforce password characteristics and mitigate password risk for all accounts in an identity store.

Password policy settings adhere to the 2019 NIST 800-63 cybersecurity framework and provide various password quality settings, including password strength requirements and password history-related limitations. Password quality settings also protect against common password-based attacks using breached or stolen credentials, such as password stuffing and password spraying.
