How to enable password policies for members

Introduction

This guide will show you how to set requirements for passwords that your NordPass organization members create and store in their vaults. 

 

Here's what to do 

  1. Log in to the NordPass Business admin panel as the organization Owner or Admin.
  2. Select the “Settings” button located in the upper left side and press the “Policies” option.
  3. Press the “Password Policy” button. 
  4. Scroll down and enable the “Toggle” button to choose whether you would like to enforce the policy for everyone, owners, admins, or only users.
  5. If you wish to edit the password policy, select the “Edit details” button and save the changes by pressing the “Save” button.

 

Additional Tips

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.

In addition, admins can set the Old Password policy to "Never", hiding Old Passwords from the application and considering them non-vulnerable.
