__TOC__==Overview=='''Password Policy '''is used to configure the password policies within [[SmartSimple]] with your organizational standards. It is best practice to ensure that these policies match the other systems deployed by your organization; consequently, these policies allow for extensive configuration options. 
'''Password Policies include the following:'''
* The ability to control the length and complexity of passwords
* The password expiration time period 
* The password frequency usage 
* The method for sending new requested passwords (via Email Templates) 
* Word restrictions 
* The number of retries allowed
* The lockout time for the account if they exceed retry quota 
* Email alerts for invalid passwords 
==Overview==Multiple password policies can be supported by the system. This feature provides for less stringent policies for types of users that ''infrequently ''access the system - for example, [[External]] contacts who would only use the system for an application. Alternative password policies can be set for any level in the [[Organization hierarchy|organization hierarchy]]. 
You can also set individual password policies for the different companies of your organization hierarchy.

A single incorrect password at this point will re-lock the account for the configured lockout duration. In other words, once someone is on the "locked user" list they are only permitted a single wrong attempt and they will be locked for the lockout duration again. This prevents would-be intruders from having multiple attempts to guess the password each time the lockout duration has passed. '' ===Password Reset Message=== [[image:password-005.png]] This feature provides the ability to overwrite the standard Password Reset message with a custom message for your organization.  ===Intruder Email Alert=== These settings define who should be informed by email if an intruder alert is detected.
