General

Minimum Length

ⓘ  If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled, we recommend setting this to 8 characters. If you do not have MFA enabled, we recommend setting this to 12 characters.

Enter the minimum length of password required when an employee creates a password. This must be at least 4 characters.

Generated Length

ⓘ  We recommend setting this to 8 characters.

Enter the length of the temporary password that should be automatically generated. This must be between 4 and 20 characters. The temporary password includes at least one of each of the selected character types from the Character Type Checks section.

Temporary PIN Expiry (min)

ⓘ  We recommend that personal identification numbers (PINs) are no longer used. Instead, we recommend using a generated uniform resource locator (URL), embedded in emails that are created for forgotten passwords. The expiry time for URLs can be set in MyView Security Email Configuration.

If you choose an alternative setup to our recommendation, enter the expiry time (in minutes) for system-generated temporary passwords. This can be set to a maximum of 60 minutes, but if you do choose to use this functionality, we recommend setting this to no more than 10 minutes.

ⓘ  The time on the ResourceLink server and the Web server must be the same for this security feature to operate correctly.

Character Type Checks

Lowercase, Uppercase, Numeric, Special Characters

ⓘ  We recommend that you select all four of these check boxes for increased security.

Select the check boxes to indicate which character types should be included within system-generated and user passwords.

Minimum Types Required
