Configuring Password Settings

Overview

As a community manager, you can enable strength checks and input validation for passwords. You can also give users the ability to reset their passwords securely. This article provides the procedure for configuring password settings.

When password reset is enabled, users can change their passwords with the help of password strength tips and a strength meter. They can access the functionality:
