The '''Persistent Login''' functionality provides for the use of a persistent secure cookie on the [[SmartSimple]] [[User|user]]'s computer to eliminate the need to use a username and password to log into the system. 
Rather than having to log in to SmartSimple each time you open your web browser, a "cookie" can be installed on your computer that will automatically authenticate you, allowing you to bypass the login screen. (This setting can be [wiki/[System_Security_Permissions#Miscellaneous_Feature_Permission |enabled or disabled]] by your system administrator). In order for this feature to work, you must have the user's browser enabled to accept persistent cookies.====Rules for Password Activation Settings====When an organization has their password settings configured, then they will be used in full. When an organization does not have their password settings configured, the system will go up the [[Organization hierarchy|organization hierarchy]] until it finds a parent company with password settings configured, and by default it will allow the organization to inherit those settings. '''Example: '''If only the [[The Root Company|root organization]] has its password settings configured, all other organizations would inherit the same policies, as they all fall under the root organization on the organization hierarchy.  * '''Note: '''An organization will display informational text at the top saying that its password policies have not been configured until they are.  {| class="wikitable"|-||For when a new user is sent their password for the first time||* If the password activation settings have a '''default security code '''but no challenge questions, the user will be prompted to enter the default security code. * If the password activation settings have a '''default security code '''and '''challenge questions, '''the user will be prompted to enter the default security code and then taken to a second screen to define an answer to one of the challenge questions. The user can then go their [[Profile]] and access the '''Change Password '''page to view and update their stored challenge question and answer.* The user will be presented with reCAPTCHA validation in all cases. |-||For when an existing user requests a new password||* If the password activation settings have a '''default security code '''but no challenge questions, the user will be prompted to enter the default security code. * If the password activation settings have a '''default security ''''''code '''and '''challenge questions, '''the user will only be prompted to answer a challenge question.* The user will be presented with reCAPTCHA validation in all cases.  |}After a user has successfully completed the appropriate password activation process, they will be logged into that SmartSimple [[instance]] and their newly created password will become active.  
====Custom Policy====
* The '''Compose Custom Password Policy''' table provides the ability to define the custom password policy that matches your organization's security standards and provides control of each character type desired (upper case, lower case, numeric and/or symbols). You can also specify the minimum number of characters required for that character type.
