Password

Using GlobalAdmin, the administrator can increase the security of the platform with a password policy, specifying one or more rules that the user's password must follow. To see the available options and set them up, access the Configuration tool, and in the menu on the left click on the Advanced settings section..

It displays a set of rules that can be activated by checking the flag on the left. The options are:

Minimum number of characters in the password: this is a mandatory setting. Enter the number in the box, which must be greater than zero
Set advanced configuration: if you want to specify other rules, activate this checkbox, which displays a set of options:
- Minimum number of uppercase characters that the password must have.
- Minimum number of lowercase characters.
- Minimum number of special characters, for example: ! & $ % / () _ # +
- Minimum number of digits (numbers) the password must contain
- Minimum number of digits or special characters that must appear in the first marked characters.
- Do not use common or easy to guess words, a check is made on a blacklist of not allowed passwords (1234, abcde...).
- If the user changes the password, either because he wants to or because it has expired, it cannot be the same as the one he had before.
- The reCAPTCHA checking system is activated after a certain number of unsuccessful login attempts.
- Password expiration, number of days after which the user is required to renew the password. If enabled, when the password expires the user is redirected to the password change page informing him that his password has expired and must be changed.
