agrē User Password Requirements
agrē password requirements are configured at the company level.
Require harder to guess passwords by increasing the Password Complexity (we recommend High).
Require more frequent password changes by shortening the Password Reset interval (we recommend 1 year).
(you must be a local security Administrator to change these config options)
Caution
As each user has a single login, Password Complexity and Password Reset affect ALL your company's agrē databases including training/practice, additional accounts, and CRS Hub.
File > Config Options > Company > General tab
If you'd like users to change their passwords to meet the new complexity requirements right away (instead of waiting for the reset interval): manage users and check Require Password Change.
(** If you would like all your agrē users to update their passwords on next login, please contact your CSC for assistance - we've got a script for that **)
