To register a new password strength, follow the steps below:

  1. On Segura, in the navigation bar, hover over the Products menu and select PAM Core.
  2. In the side menu, select Management > Credentials > Password strength.
  3. In the bottom-right corner, click on + New.
  4. At the Password strength screen, fill in the following fields:
    1. Name: name for your password strength.
    2. Status: keep selected if you want the password strength to be active. Otherwise, unselect it.
    3. Uppercase letters: fill in the number of uppercase letters that will be required in the password.
    4. Lowercase letters: fill in the number of lowercase letters that will be required in the password.
    5. Numbers: fill in the number of numbers required in the password.
    6. Symbols: fill in the number of symbols required in the password.
    7. Allowed symbols: check the options for the symbols that will be allowed in the password.
    8. Allow repeated character?: select Yes to allow the user to repeat characters in the password. Otherwise, select No. By default, it’s set to No.
    9. Click Save.
