Password Policy

This password policy is applied when the GoodData Platform is handling user management and not any additional single sign-on policies implemented on the customer side. 

The password that you use to connect to the GoodData platform can be used to connect to the platform through any supported interface: CloudConnect Designer, REST APIs, gray pages, and potentially any scripts you use with GoodData.

Apart from the security policy and requirements on your site, your password must meet the following criteria:

Default Password Policy

• Does not contain character sequences (for example, 11111, 12345, qwerty and so on).
• Is not a previously used password.
• Does not contain any similarities to your login.
• Has a minimum length of 7 characters.
• Commonly known weak passwords are not accepted (password123, etc.).

Stronger Password Policy 

• Your can define a minimum password length of 1 characters up to a maximum of 128 characters.
• You can define password complexity to contain a combination (up to a total of four) of the following: 
  • Digits (0 to 9)
  • Uppercase characters (A to Z)
  • Lowercase characters (a to z)
  • Special characters (!@#$%^&*())
  • Unicode
• Enforcement for users to change password upon expiry (ON/OFF per domain and/or user)
• Password expiry range (duration in minutes, hours, days, months or years per domain)
• Number of unique passwords used before reuse (for example, new password must not match previous seven passwords used)
• Contact GoodData Support to enable stronger password options including a minimum password character length and number of required character groups.

If you require additional stronger or custom password policy, view Set up User Authentication and SSO.
