- Historical Password Restrictions Within Last X Passwords – This dictates the frequency with which users can re-use old passwords.

- Password Attempt Count – The number of incorrect password attempts a user can have before being locked out of the account.

Please Note: Existing users will only be required to update their passwords upon their next login if their current password does not meet the requirements set out in the policy or if they have not reset their password for longer than the Compulsory Password Reset Frequency.
If a user attempts to choose a password that does not meet the Password Policy Requirements they will be presented with a message detailing the requirements to enable them to choose a stronger password.
