Enable password policies for members

Password policies allow you to set requirements for passwords that your NordPass organization members create and store in their vaults. This helps to ensure that your employees' passwords are compliant with the organization's policy.

Once a password policy is set up, it’s integrated into these places:

• When creating, editing, or auto-saving passwords, the password will be considered weak if the password policy is not met.
  
  
• Weak or old passwords will be highlighted for members to review in the Security Dashboard and Password Health.
  
  
• Any passwords from the Password Generator will always meet the minimum password policy requirements. Members can adjust parameters in Password Generator so long as they don't clash with the password policy.
  
  

Any existing passwords that don’t meet the organization's password policy will be marked as weak or old (depending on which requirements aren’t met). You can view the status of the organization’s passwords from the Dashboard in the Admin Panel.
