====Disable Inactive Accounts and Activation Settings====
Scrolling down further on the '''General '''password settings page will bring you to the sections that allow you to set the criteria for disabling and activating accounts.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
||'''Disable user accountsafter ''X ''days'''||Insert the number of days a user account is inactive before it is disabled. In order to disable this feature, simply leave the field blank.
|-
||'''Apply Policy to All Sub-Companies'''
||
Click this button to force-update the password policy related to the current organization and all sub-companies.
'''Note: '''This is applicable when an organization has a [[The Root Company|root organization]], and one or more sub-companies each with its own password policies.
|-
||'''Disabled Inactive Account Message'''
||Write in the text that will be displayed when a user is attempting to access an expired account.
|-
||'''Enable reCAPTCHA Validation'''
||'''Activation link life span'''
||
This function works with the @activationlink@ [[Password Variables to Set or Reset User Passwords|password variable]]. If the '''https://@url@@activationlink@ '''syntax is used in the '''Request Password '''section of [[Email#Email Templates for User Activation and Password|email templates]], this setting sets the duration that the activation link will be valid for the user in ''number of hours. ''
* '''Note: '''Best practice is to provide around 24 hours. Providing too little time will force you to continuously resend links as users will be more likely to activate their accounts in time.
|-
||'''Default Security Code'''
||This is a hard-coded value to be entered when users request new passwords. For example, 12345.
|-
||'''Challenge Questions, delimited by semi-colons'''
||
You can set a series of challenge questions through which all users will be prompted to select one upon next login. Their answer to that question will be stored in the system, and if they forget their password, they will be prompted to enter this answer and click the activation link in the '''Forgot Password '''[[Email#Email Templates for User Activation and Password|email template]].
'''Example of Challenge Questions: '''
: ''In what city or town was your first job?;''<br />''What is your mother's maiden name?;''<br />''What was your first pet's name?;''<br />''In what year was your father born? ''

====Password Reset Message====
Even further down at the bottom of the '''General '''page of '''Password and Activation Policies '''are features relating to a '''Password Reset Message '''and '''Persistent Login. '''
Description
==='''=Persistent Login''': ====
:: [[File:Persistent login.png|600px|border]]
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.
