Setting Password Restrictions

In SSO-H, you can prevent the simplification of passwords by setting the length, expiration period, and complexity of the password. Preventing the simplification of passwords enables increased security.
IMPORTANT
Password restriction settings are valid for passwords that are registered/edited after the restrictions are set. When a password that is already registered exceeds the restrictions, a screen prompting to change the password is displayed when user authentication is performed.
Setting the Password Length
