Password complexity is an optional group setting in Time Tracker that defines a required complexity of user passwords. It may contain a password example with the following characteristics:
Length is a minimally required password length.
It contains an exact number of minimally required capital letters A-Z.
It contains an exact number of minimally required lowercase letters a-z.
It contains an exact number of minimally required digits 0-9.
It contains an exact number of minimally required other characters that are not alphanumeric and can be non Latin. They may be special characters like !, @, $, etc. or utf-8 characters.
If the field is empty, the password complexity policy is not enforced. If the field contains an example password, then the policy is enforced based on the example.
Where to Configure
The Password complexity configuration option is located on the advanced group settings page group_advanced_edit.php (Group tab - Advanced settings - Configure), which is available to users having the manage_advanced_settings access right available in the default Manager and Top manager roles.
