# Password Policy

A **Password Policy** is a set of rules and guidelines that an organization or system implements to define the requirements and constraints for creating and managing passwords. 

The primary purpose of a password policy is to **enhance the security of user accounts** by ensuring that passwords are strong and not easily guessable.

1. Open the Admin Console.
2. On the left-hand side, locate and click on **Settings.**
3. In the **Settings** section, click on the **Password Policy** tab.
4. On the right-hand side of the **Password Policy** tab, you will see a Password Policy.

***Password validity***&#x20;

* The **Password validity** field serves as an enable/disable button.
  * When this field is enabled, two additional fields become visible: **Validity Day** and **Notify User Before.**&#x20;
  * These two fields allow users to specify the number of days the password remains valid before requiring a change and the number of days before expiration when a user should be notified.&#x20;
  * However, if the **Password validity** field is disabled, these two additional fields will not appear.&#x20;
  * This setup allows users to control password expiration settings based on their needs.

***Validity Day:*** Specifies the number of days for which the password remains valid before needing to be changed.&#x20;
