1.8 Define Password Restriction

This topic explains systematic instructions to define password restrictions.

The system allows creation of a list of words that the users, having a certain Role are likely to use as passwords and on which restrictions can be placed. The list of Restrictive Passwords should contain those passwords that the users are most likely to use such as Bank Name, City, Country, and so on. For a user role, it could contain names or terms, that are commonly used in the department. At the user level, it could contain the names of loved ones, etc. By disallowing users from using such common passwords, the risk of somebody other than the user knowing the password can be reduced.

Note:

The fields which are marked in asterisk are mandatory.
