Password Settings Basics

The Password Settings form contains Security settings for operators and their passwords. This allows you to strengthen your system security with more control over who may access your system. You may establish a number of days after which the user must change their password, the number of wrong password attempts the system will accept before locking the user out, and the number and type of characters the system will accept for a password. Passwords are encrypted for added security.

This can be completely ignored if your needs do not require this kind of security.

For the larger companies, this is almost a must to satisfy your clients' need for tightened security.
