Setting password requirements

Last week we went over patron privacy settings, and this week we’re going over the best way to keep your patron data secure: by making sure your operators have good passwords and valid emails with which to reset their passwords. Let’s get into it!

Setting password requirements for Security Groups:

1. Go to Tools > Security.
2. Select the Security Group that you want to modify from the list to the left.
3. From Account > Password Strength, select a level of strength.
4. Patron passwords must meet the set requirements. Passwords are not case sensitive.
   • None: no requirements.
   • Weak: At least 6 characters.
   • Regular: At least 8 characters, including at least one letter (a-z) and one number (0-9).
   • Strong: At least 10 characters, including at least one letter (a-z), one number (0-9), and one symbol (!@#$%^&*-=+.,).
5. Click Save.
