ShareFile

Password requirements

You can configure the complexity requirements for ShareFile credentials.

By default, for all users passwords:

  • Must contain a minimum of 8 characters with a maximum number of 50 characters.
  • Must contain 1 upper case and 1 lower case letter.
  • Must contain at least 1 number.
  • Must contain at least 1 of these special characters: ! # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = / . ? \ [ ] | ' ~ @ '
  • Can’t be the same as their last 25 passwords.

Customize password requirements

To create other password requirements for your users:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Admin Settings > Security > Sign in Policy > Password requirements.

  4. Select Save.

Notes:

  • Any changes you make go into effect the next time a user changes their password.

  • In response to an increase in internet-account credential (user name and password) theft, ShareFile might require a password reset and will continue to incorporate a regularly scheduled forced password reset into our normal operating procedures.
