Password Policy
IO provides parameters to control your password policy. You can choose from the following options:
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Password length | Minimum password length: 1 - 15 characters |
Password repetition | Whether passwords must be different from previous passwords: 1-5 previous passwords |
Require uppercase letter | Whether at least one uppercase character is required |
Require lowercase letter | Whether at least one lowercase character is required |
Require numeric character | Whether at least one numeric character is required |
Require special character | Whether at least one special character is required |
Password expiry | Password expiration: 1-24 months |
Limit failed login attempts | Limit number of failed login attempts: 2-5 attempts |
Idle User Timeout | Idle user timeout in minutes: 6-1440 min; the default is 60 min. This is a global setting, unless overridden on a per-user basis. An administrator can override this setting for any user from Settings > User Management > Users, Roles and Groups. |
Note
IO Password Policy configuration can be lost after a restore operation. This can cause the Management UI to fail to authenticate and display a blank gray screen. After performing a restore, reconfigure the Password Policy from the IO Settings screen. Be sure to save it, even if it already looks correct.

From the Settings tab, click Password Policy under the User Management section.
