Security
The "Security" section allows an Administrator to set or adjust minimum standards for user passwords. An Administrator can set:
Minimum Character Length: The minimum number of characters contained in a valid password.
Password Complexity Requirements: The minimum different kinds of characters used in a valid password.
Days Before Passwords Expire: Set the number of days before a valid password will need to be reset. This setting will take effect immediately. For example, if you change this setting to 30 days, any users who have not updated their password within the last 30 days will be prompted to do so upon their next login.
Previous Passwords Ineligible for Use: The number of previous password that will not be accepted as a password change/update.
NOTE: Apricot password requirements have changed as of Sept. 28, 2023. To enhance Apricot security, users are required to use passwords that adhere to the following security standards:
Password length: 12 characters minimum
At least 1 uppercase letter
At least 1 lowercase letter
At least 1 symbol
At least 1 number
The last 24 passwords cannot be reused
Passwords must be reset at least every 365 days
In cases where your Apricot instance has password security settings below our minimum requirements, they will be automatically overridden. To read more about this password update, please visit the following help article.
