importhttps://docs.empowerid.com/docs.css


EmpowerID provides password management services enabling help desk password reset, end-user self-service password change and reset, and multi-directory password synchronization for external systems. These policies control the login and password self-service reset options a person receives when using EmpowerID. When EmpowerID is installed, all users discovered are assigned to the Default Password Manager Policy. You can modify this policy to meet your organization's needs or create new policies and assign those to users as desired.


In this topic, we demonstrate setting up Password Manager Policies by creating a new policy. The principles and settings discussed can be applied to editing the Default Password Manager Policy, as well as any other custom policies you may have created.

To set up password policies

  1. In the Navigation Sidebar, expand Admin, then Policies, and click Password Manager Policies.
  2. From the Password Manager Policies management page, click the Actions tab and then click Create Password Manger Policy
