Set up Password Policies

Introduction:

The Password Policy in ZTrust Admin Console allows you to define rules for creating and managing secure passwords for all users in your organization. By setting up a password policy, you can ensure stronger security, meet compliance requirements, and reduce the chances of unauthorized access.

Why Configure a Password Policy?

Setting up a password policy helps you:

• Improve Security – Enforces strong passwords that are harder to guess.

• Meet Compliance Needs – Many organizations must follow strict password rotation and complexity rules.

• Prevent Unauthorized Access – Weak or reused passwords can be exploited; policies reduce this risk.

• Automate Password Expiry – Ensures users regularly update their passwords for better safety.

Steps to Configure the Password Policy:

• Go to the Admin Console → Authentication section → Policies Tab →Password Policy

• Click on the Add Policy dropdown and select the required policy

• After adding all desired policies, click Save.

• The policies are now active and will apply to all existing and new users.
