Custom Password Policy
Custom Password Policy allows organizations to define and enforce password rules based on their internal security standards and compliance requirements. Instead of relying on fixed or default settings, administrators can configure password policies that align with corporate security guidelines and regulatory needs.
With Custom Password Policy, administrators can control key aspects such as password complexity, minimum length, character requirements, expiration rules, and reuse restrictions. These policies help ensure that user credentials remain strong, secure, and resistant to unauthorized access.
Visual Guard applies the configured password policy consistently across all users and authentication methods. This ensures uniform enforcement of security rules while providing flexibility to adapt policies as organizational requirements evolve.
Custom Password Policy enhances overall security posture by reducing the risk of weak or compromised passwords, while still maintaining a smooth and user-friendly authentication experience.
Key Features
🔐 Configurable Password Complexity
Administrators can define password rules such as minimum length, required character types (uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters), and complexity thresholds. This helps prevent the use of weak or easily guessable passwords.
⏳ Password Expiration & Aging Rules
Password validity periods can be configured to enforce regular password changes. This reduces the risk of credential compromise caused by long-term password usage.
🔁 Password History & Reuse Control
The system can restrict users from reusing previously used passwords. This encourages better password practices and minimizes the risk of repeated credential exposure.
⚙️ Centralized Policy Management
Password policies are managed from a single, centralized configuration. Any updates to the policy are automatically applied to all users, ensuring uniform enforcement across applications.
🔄 Policy Enforcement Across Authentication Modes
Custom password policies are applied consistently regardless of how users authenticate. This ensures predictable and secure behavior across different access scenarios.
Benefits
🛡️ Enhanced Security
Strong and customizable password rules significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access, brute-force attacks, and credential misuse.
📏 Compliance Alignment
Custom policies help organizations meet internal IT standards and external regulatory or audit requirements by enforcing consistent password controls.
👥 Consistent User Experience
Users follow the same password rules across applications, reducing confusion and improving usability while maintaining security.
📉 Reduced Security Risks
By enforcing expiration and reuse restrictions, the policy minimizes the chances of long-term password exposure and repeated credential leaks.
🔧 Flexible & Scalable Management
As organizational security requirements evolve, password policies can be easily updated without impacting application functionality or user workflows.
