Enabling secure passwords

Starting release 2024.2, you can choose to enable or disable the secure password policy in Validate.

When enabled, passwords must meet the following criteria:

• A minimum of 8 characters

• At least one uppercase letter

• At least one lowercase letter

• At least one number

• At least one special character (such as !, @, # or $)

To enable or disabled secure password policy, navigate to the Users tab in Validate and toggle the Secure password policy enabled/disabled button.

The following limitations apply:

• Only users with the "Projects root admin" role have the permission to change this property.

• If you migrate an existing projects_root from release 2024.1 or older, the secure password policy is disabled by default.

• If you install a new Validate Server or create a new projects_root (2024.2 or newer), the secure password policy is enabled by default.

• Existing passwords are not affected.
