Password Policy Definitions and How to Enable Password Policies in Everbridge Suite.

Description

There are two types of password policies in Everbridge:

• The Regular Password Policy

• The Stricter Password Policy

The Stricter Password Policy involves more robust password requirements, such as increasing the minimum password length, adding additional complexity requirements, and enhancing overall password security measures. This helps protect your organization's accounts by making passwords more difficult to guess or crack.

This article defines the requirements for each policy and provides a screenshot example of how to enable either policy.

Note: The Password Policy and any changes made to the Password Policy do not apply to API access.

To configure a Password Policy:

1. Log in to the Everbridge Manager Portal

2. Select Settings > Security > Password Policy

Regular Password Policy

For information on configuring password expiration please see knowledge article EBS: How to Configure Password Expiration in Everbridge Suite.

Stricter Password Policy

The Stricter Password Policy is an advanced feature enabled by Everbridge. To have this feature enabled, please contact your Account Manager or Everbridge Technical Support.

Note: By enabling the Stricter Password Policy both the password requirements and the additional password settings change.
