Passwords are the most commonly used authentication factor. Many users reuse the same, insecure password for all their online accounts, compromising their organization's security. To protect yourself from this common pitfall, make it mandatory for your users to create passwords that meet certain security standards.
To configure a password policy:
- Sign in to the Zoho One Admin Panel.
- Go to Security, click Security Policies, then click on the policy you want to configure.
- Enable Your Password Policy.
- Select from the three preset Password Strengths or choose Custom.
- If you chose Custom, set:
