Password Settings
=================

The default password requirements for a user on TouchPoint are as follows:

-  Must be at least 7 characters long
-  Must contain at least one special character (i.e. a mark of
   punctuation)

However, the church Admin can vary the requirements by modifying the following settings:

-  **Password Min Length** - enter a number, such as 7
    
-  **Password Require One Number** - True or False
    
-  **Password Require One Upper** - True or False
    
-  **Password Require Special Character** - True or False

To find these setings, navigate to `Admin > Advanced > Settings > System > Security`.

So, to recap, the length can vary based on the number you enter as the minimum length; you can determine whether or not to require a number, an upper case letter, or a special character.

.. admonition:: Security
    As a security precaution we have the following settings in place:

    The maximum invalid password attempts is 15. After 10 minutes, the **Failed Password Attempt Count** is reset.

.. tip:: 
   For additional security, consider enabling Two Factor Authentication (2FA).
