Lately some inspectors ask me for special password requirements. That is, you can force the password to get 8 letters, special characters and 1 uppercase? Thank you

    Check the system policies in the configuration manager and under the User Account tab tick the "Enforce unique user password" but I don't think it can force uppercase or special characters. I think the length of the password is the same as the username so a username of BeckySmith would limit the password to at LEAST 10 characters.

    Workaround: enforce complex password for Windows logon and then have users use the same password for Empower.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/password-must-meet-complexity-requirements

    The password contains characters from three of the following categories:

    • Uppercase letters of European languages (A through Z, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
    • Lowercase letters of European languages (a through z, sharp-s, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
    • Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
    • Non-alphanumeric characters (special characters): (~!@#$%^&amp;*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/) Currency symbols such as the Euro or British Pound are not counted as special characters for this policy setting.
    • Any Unicode character that is categorized as an alphabetic character but is not uppercase or lowercase. This includes Unicode characters from Asian languages.

    We use LDAP authentication in Empower. It will use the same username/password from the active directory. Your IT admin can customize the group policy to specify the complexity of the password requirement for Windows/AD. The bonus is that user only has one password to remember.
