Password strength

You can configure the strength (complexity) of the passwords by specifying:

  • a minimum length for passwords

  • how many uppercases, lowercases, digits and special characters should contain the password


Maximum Password Duration

Kiuwan allows to apply this policy allows to determine how long users can keep a password before they are required to change i, thus forcing users to periodically change it. Once the password expiration date is reached, the user will be redirected to a “change your password” page. 


Password History

To enforce Password History policy will set how often an old password can be reused. You can define the number of previous passwords remembered. This policy discourage users from reusing a previous password, thus preventing them from alternating between several common passwords.


Max Login attempts

Setting the maximum number of allowed  login attempts provides protection against “brute-force” or dictionary-based attempts to guess passwords. Kiuwan allows to specify a maximum number of consecutive login attempts allowed, after which the user is automatically locked. Only the Kiuwan owner (or a Kiuwan user with Users Management privilege) can enable again the locked username.
