Password Strength Levels

Password Strength Levels


Minimum Password Strength: The selected password strength defines the type of characters required (letters, numbers and special characters), the required number of unique characters, and a required password length.

You can choose between five levels of password strength:


Very weak:

- The password can contain any characters.

- The password must conform to the minimum length that is specified in the Minimum Password Length field.

- Examples: password, 1234

 

Weak:

- The password must contain at least 4 characters and conform to the minimum length specified in the Minimum Password Length field.

- The password must contain 2 of the following elements: uppercase letters, lower case letters, numbers, or special characters.

- Examples: Pass, word!, WORD1, 123!

 

Medium:

- The password must contain at least 8 characters and conform to the minimum length specified in the Minimum Password Length field.

- 3 of these 8 characters must be unique.

- The password must contain 3 of the following elements: uppercase letters, lower case letters, numbers, or special characters.

- Examples: Password!, a123456!

 

Strong:

- The password must contain at least 10 characters and conform to the minimum length specified in the Minimum Password Length field.

- 4 of these 10 characters must be unique.

- The password must contain uppercase letters, lower case letters, at least one number and one special character.

- The password must not contain the first name, the last name, or the email address of the user. "First name" and "last name" refer to the content of the fields First Name and Last Name as specified in the Contact Details tab of the Profile and Settings dialog.

- Example: P@ssword12

 

Very strong:

- The password must contain at least 12 characters and conform to the minimum length specified in the Minimum Password Length field.

- 7 of these 12 characters must be unique.

- The password must contain uppercase letters, lower case letters, at least one number and one special character.

- The password must not contain the first name, the last name or the email address of the user. "First name" and "last name" refer to the content of the fields First Name and Last Name as specified in the Contact Details tab of the Profile and Settings dialog window for a user.

- Example: P@ssword1234

 

If users have access to Data Rooms that belong to several Data Room Centers with different settings for Minimum Password Strength and Minimum Password Length, the strictest of these settings apply to them.

Password strength and password length are also evaluated during running sessions. If a Data Room Center Manager or administrator chooses more restrictive password security settings, logged in users have to update their password accordingly during the session.

 

Note: Make sure the Minimum Password Length field matches the length of the password strength level selected.

-Example password strength level set to Very Strong, Minimum Password Length should be set to at least 12, longer passwords are safer.
