•At least one lower case letter
•At least one upper case letter
•At least one special character
5. Enter a period in days that a password is valid for (up to a maximum of 999) in the Password Expiry field. This determines how long a password can be used before the user must change it. If the field is set to 0, passwords will not expire. Note: Users will be prompted to change their password.

When a user changes their password, the new password will be compared against the set number of previous passwords to ensure it has not been used before. If the field is set to 0, no limit will be enforced on password reuse.
9. Select the require password reset checkbox to prompt new users to change their password after the initial login.
10. Enter the number of days an account can be inactive before it is disabled in the Days Inactive Before Disabling field. Note: Setting the number of days inactive before the account is disabled will automatically create a daily task that checks if any users have not accessed the LCMS during the desired time period.
