D3.4 Change the site password policy

Introduction to this page

The policy can be changed at any time, and will take effect for each user the next time they attempt to sign in.

By default, Chorus requires the following of user passwords:

Default Chorus Password Policy

Required characters	At least one non-alphanumeric character (must include one symbol)
Passwords must be changed	After 360 days
Passwords can be reused (time)	Only after 30 days
Passwords can be reused (count)	After every five changes
Lock account after	10 tries
Lockout time	30 minutes

Step-by-step:

1. Click Admin at the top of Chorus and sign in to elevate.

2. Choose Settings > Site from the Admin menu. The Site Admin modal will open.

3. Go to Password Policy settings.

4. Enable the Use a custom password policy switch. Customization fields will appear.

5. Edit each of the fields according to your preferences or company policies.

6. Click Save.

What does a 'locked account' mean?

If a user tries, and fails, to sign in to Chorus too many times (according to your Password Policy), they will be 'locked out' of their account.

The amount of time that their account will remain locked is dependent on the 'lockout time' you have set in the policy.
