Passwort

This section allows you to define password requirements for the local user accounts.

Bemerkung

Zammad does not allow you to change your LDAP password, instead, it will set a password in its local database which might confuse your users. This will be addressed in the future by #1169.

Warnung

💪 Exception for strong passwords 💪

Please note that below password policies do not affect administrators setting passwords on user accounts. While this seems strange and not safe we believe that an administrator knowing an user’s password is insecure as well.

The suggested workflow is either:

  • to use third party logins to not require local passwords at all - or -

  • to require your user to reset the password upon first login.

This way administrators are not required to set a user’s password at all!

Maximum failed logins

You can choose a value between 4 and 20. This defines how often a login to a user account may fail until Zammad will lock it. Your users can always use the „forgot password“ function to change their password and unlock their account.

The default value is 10.

Bemerkung

Beside changing the user’s password, you can also unlock accounts via

Hinweis

Failed logins via LDAP no longer lock accounts.

2 lower case and 2 upper case characters

You can add complexity to passwords by enforcing at least 2 upper and lower case characters.

The default value is no.

Minimum length

This defines the minimum password length required for users to provide (from 4 to 20).

The default value is 6.

Digit required

This enforces your users to use at least one digit within the password.

The default value is yes.

Special character required

This setting allows you to improve your password quality even more by enforcing the password to contain at least one special character.

The default value is no.
