Understanding Staffing Apply Online Password Control

Staffing Apply Online Password Control enable you to define password requirements such as password strength, whether passwords must expire after a specified time period, whether a secret question must be answered before the system resets a forgotten password, or whether accounts must be locked after a specific number of failed logon attempts.

After you define password requirements, the Staffing system automatically generates a description of the password. Applicants using the Staffing Apply Online account can see this description any time they create a password while registering or resetting a password.

To enable Password Control you must set the User Registration option to Required on the Staffing Apply Online Installation Options page.

Validations for Password Control

  • An applicant creates an account or changes the password for an existing account. The system ensures that the new password meets all password requirements.

  • A password expires. The applicant must set a new password during the next logon attempt.

  • Staffing system generates a new password.

  • Staffing system generates password when applicants use the Forgot Password option.
