1.2 Maintain Password Restriction Details in SMS Banks Parameters

This topic explains systematic instructions to process password restrictions.

Through the Password Restrictions screen, define a list of passwords that cannot be used by any user of the system in the bank. This restrictive passwords list can be defined at three levels:

• At the bank level (applicable to all the users of the system)
• At the user role level (applicable for all the users assigned the same role)
• At the user level (applicable for the user)

The list of restrictive passwords should typically contain the passwords the users are most likely to use such as Bank Name, City, Country, etc. 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, and so on. By disallowing users from using such common passwords, the risk of somebody other than the user knowing the password can be reduced.
